About Alexandria

Alexandria Palmer is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with relationships. She also offers support for trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, anger, and addictions. Her work includes attention to sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens closely and helps clients set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Alexandria blends methods that match each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation.

With four years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, she draws on evidence-based tools while keeping things human and straightforward. Clients can expect clear steps, skill practice, and steady support as issues come up. Based in Alaska, she works with adults who want practical strategies and steady guidance for life’s changes.

Her sessions emphasize self-compassion, better communication, and gradual progress toward goals.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters most to the client and works at their pace, which can help with building trust and exploring parenting or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing small behavior changes between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood, or compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the client feels involved in decisions about care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule or to follow up quickly when problems arise. Many people find the variety helpful for practicing skills between meetings and keeping momentum while juggling day-to-day life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
