About Alexandra
Alexandra Branca is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island who brings eight years of experience to work with adults facing a wide range of life stressors.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and the practical strains that come with caregiving, chronic illness, career changes, and sleep disruption. Her background includes attention to compassion fatigue and ADHD alongside broader issues such as communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and end-of-life transitions.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing respectful listening and practical tools to improve day-to-day functioning. Alexandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and build sustainable coping skills.
Motivational interviewing also informs her work when clients are weighing change or facing ambivalence. Clients can expect an empathetic, goal-oriented approach that balances exploration of emotions with concrete strategies for managing symptoms and navigating life changes.
Therapy is offered through various online formats and is organized so individuals can select the pathway that best fits their schedule and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and stress management. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying values and learning to live alongside difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely. These approaches are applied in a practical, goal-oriented way to address symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach happens collaboratively; Alexandra pairs her clinical experience with a client-centered stance to understand each person's goals, preferences, and readiness for change. Together with the client she will explore which strategies feel most useful and adjust the plan over time to better fit evolving needs.
Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists and clients to focus treatment on actionable skills and meaningful life changes.
