Dr. Alexandria Arthur, LPCC, LPC

Dr. Alexandria Arthur is a licensed counselor practicing in Virginia. She holds a doctoral degree in mental health and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical care.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems that grow out of trauma or abuse. She also supports work on self-esteem, motivation, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, and life transitions. Addiction, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties are included in her range of focus.

Her approach is collaborative and adaptable. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, with straightforward conversation and clear goals. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empathy while helping people identify small changes that make daily life easier.

Dr. Arthur draws on treatments that include cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. She uses skills-based work when helpful and emotion-focused conversation when that fits the issue. Practical tools and homework are offered when they match a person’s goals.

People who come to her can expect a calm, direct style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. She also addresses specific concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and coping after separation. The work is paced to the person and adjusted as progress unfolds.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Arthur commonly uses cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises to test thoughts, build new routines, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and develop new ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit those needs. The plan can change over time as progress is tracked and priorities shift.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and help people fit care into busy lives.
