About Alexandra

Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC MH16986) with nine years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related challenges.

Background and approach

She brings experience from maternal and infant mental health and substance use settings, and she integrates a range of therapeutic perspectives to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, drawing on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Alexandra emphasizes helping clients build practical coping skills, improve communication and attachment patterns, and address life transitions including pregnancy and childbirth or parenting stress. She also supports work on self-esteem, compassion fatigue, anger management, and sleep difficulties.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Alexandra practices in Florida and offers several remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a brief matching process to find availability and decide on a session format that fits their routine.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger concerns. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building psychological flexibility, often helping with stress, chronic worry, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is typically a collaborative process. Alexandra reviews a client's goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then blends methods to meet those needs, adjusting strategies as therapy progresses to ensure techniques feel useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules or to continue work during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and supportive conversations in ways that can be adapted to each person’s routine and preferences.
