Alexandria Lara, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Alexandria

Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She blends practical techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy with emotion-focused work and mindfulness to meet people where they are. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to build on the strengths a person already has.

She has eight years of experience as a counselor in Texas. Her counseling draws on work in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Background and approach

That background means she has experience with short-term goals and longer-term healing. She has provided therapy in person and through telehealth, and she currently leads group sessions that address acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. In sessions she mixes clear, evidence-based tools with space to understand emotions.

Cognitive behavioral techniques can help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Emotionally-focused methods help name and shift strong feelings. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to come back to the present moment.

Alexandria pays attention to themes that often follow trauma, grief, or major life changes. She also works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and issues with self-worth. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people juggling real-life demands.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens, offers tools, and adjusts plans as needs change. People who prefer a direct, supportive counselor may find her style helpful for setting goals and tracking progress.

How Alexandria’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps so clients can try small, practical changes and notice different results. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions so they can respond differently in stressful moments.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, current struggles, and what feels useful to the person. Then she will suggest tools and adjust the plan based on what actually helps, so the work stays practical and personalized.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that is helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for check-ins, brief support, or steady ongoing work without the need to travel. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into daily life and to try techniques between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
