About Alexandria

Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who approaches care with practical, evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and emotionally-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person's situation.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she combines structured skill-building with attention to feelings and relationships so clients can address stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and other challenges. Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings and experience providing counseling to youth and adults through in-person and telehealth formats.

Alexandria also facilitates group counseling that explores themes such as acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. She emphasizes collaborative work that leverages a person's existing strengths while introducing new coping tools for areas like career concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and complex issues such as abandonment or attachment problems.

Clients who work with Alexandria can expect a respectful, supportive approach that blends practical techniques and emotional insight. She helps people identify goals, practice new skills, and build resilience so they can move toward greater well-being and confidence.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alexandria draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises and skills that translate well to remote sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood and can explore goals at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work on relational and attachment themes by helping people track emotions and reshape interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques over time as goals evolve, and the therapist guides clients in trying tools and reflecting on what helps most.

Online therapy with Alexandria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily life. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access care from wherever a person is located within Texas.
