About Alexandra

Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and problems that affect daily life. She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. That can mean working on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence or addressing grief, trauma, or relationship strain.

Alexandra often helps clients sort through family-related struggles and parenting concerns while also addressing issues like codependency, body image, and eating-related problems. She supports people coping with major life changes, career challenges, or compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.

In sessions she listens first, then collaborates on clear goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what feels useful for each person. Progress is approached step by step, with attention to what the client can use day to day.

Alexandra also works with concerns such as anger, impulsivity, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and substance use. She welcomes clients who want guidance on communication, boundaries, forgiveness, or reducing guilt and shame. Her aim is to empower people to make manageable changes that fit their lives.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then develop clearer coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach emphasizes building better communication and boundary skills to address codependency, relationship strain, and family conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals, preferences, and life situation. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works in real life and what the client wants to focus on.

The practical benefits of meeting with a licensed professional online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping work or caregiving routines intact. Online therapy can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you can choose what fits your daily routine.
