About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and issues like grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.
Her approach blends narrative ideas with practical therapies. She helps people tell the story of their lives and notice patterns that no longer serve them. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, concrete steps toward change.
Background and approach
Alexandra draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people connect values with action and challenge unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based work is used when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are a central concern. In sessions she keeps the work grounded and focused on daily life and relationships.
She has experience supporting perinatal mental health, substance use concerns, and post-traumatic stress, and she works with issues around parenting, intimacy, and self-esteem. Her background includes work with people facing major life transitions and those managing bipolar and sleep difficulties. Therapy can be offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The goal is practical progress - clearer choices, steadier moods, and better communication - shaped around each person’s values and pace.

Online session options
How narrative and acceptance work online
Alexandra uses Narrative Therapy to help people rework the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach helps when past events or repeated patterns feel stuck and you want a new direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what really matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people shift patterns in how they connect and communicate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra treats the decision as collaborative and will help you try different methods to see what fits your goals and preferences. She will check in about what is helping and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written check-ins, want to reflect between messages, or need more flexible communication outside scheduled meetings.
