About Trudy

Trudy Alexander-Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. Trudy speaks English and works with adults who want practical help and steady support.

She centers sessions on each person's strengths and lived experience. Conversations are straightforward and respectful. Trudy encourages clients to notice what already works and to build new ways of coping that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Trudy draws on a mix of approaches. She uses client-centered listening to understand priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought patterns and try new actions.

Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and calm the body. Her work also includes solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when those fit the situation. That means she helps set small, concrete goals and also addresses painful past events when they affect current functioning.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person’s needs. People who contact Trudy can expect clear communication about goals and steps to reach them. She supports exploration of values, coping skills, and healthier ways to relate to others.

The focus remains on useful change that fits real life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Trudy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build different responses. CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness helps ground attention in the present and teaches simple ways to reduce stress and reactivity.

She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals. Finding the right approach is collaborative; she will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique to everyone.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Remote sessions let people use therapeutic tools from home, practice skills in their everyday environment, and check in more frequently when needed.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
