About Alexandra
Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice who blends practical strategies with compassionate support. She trained at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and uses evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and personality-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her approach is both supportive and direct, aiming to give clients concrete tools while attending to the emotional work that accompanies change. Alexandra commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and exploratory Jungian perspectives when appropriate.
She works with a wide range of issues including stress, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on present-day coping skills and longer-term patterns contributing to distress.
Based in Georgia, she holds the LCSW credential and provides care in English. Alexandra frames therapy as a partnership and invites people ready to address life transitions, trauma, or persistent emotional struggles to consider a practical, tailored course of work.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Alexandra commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. DBT emphasizes developing skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for strong emotional reactivity and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with clients to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, combining short-term skills training with deeper exploration when useful. She frames treatment as a partnership and adapts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to access therapy from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can use these methods to deliver focused, evidence-informed work that fits into clients' everyday lives.
