Alexandra Valencia, LMHC

Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Alexandra draws from several therapy approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to address patterns that show up in relationships.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Alexandra focuses on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. She encourages realistic goals and tools that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes work in maternal and infant mental health, substance use settings, and trauma-informed care. That range informs how she tailors approaches for different life stages and concerns.

Alexandra offers services in English and Spanish and practices in Florida. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping people sort priorities, try new coping skills, and track progress toward the life they want.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, sleep trouble, or low mood and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationship patterns show up now and to build healthier ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together she and the client decide whether to emphasize CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, or a mix of methods based on what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can be video calls when visual interaction is helpful, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or easier scheduling, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep practicing skills as life changes.
