About Alejandra

Alejandra Mejia is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She offers compassionate, individualized care that adapts to each person’s needs and priorities, and she works in both English and Spanish. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration.

Alejandra draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work to build practical skills, explore values, and improve communication. She also supports clients dealing with issues such as intimacy, parenting, career transitions, caregiving stress, addiction, grief, and codependency.

Alejandra invites clients to take the first steps toward meaningful change by offering a warm, empathetic presence and a nonjudgmental space for exploration. She focuses on empowering people to identify goals, develop coping strategies, and strengthen resilience while tailoring treatment plans to individual circumstances and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Alejandra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or low mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying values, building psychological flexibility, and taking actions that align with what matters to them. Client-centered principles shape her work as well, creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space that lets clients guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alejandra will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting strategies over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance work and family demands, or access support when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists to tailor session style and pace to individual needs.
