About Trudy

Trudy Alexander-Love is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Trudy encourages clients to take courageous steps toward greater fulfillment while offering steady support and empowerment throughout the process. Her practice also addresses family and communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, aging and geriatric concerns, and difficulties related to isolation, guilt, or feelings of low self-worth.

Trudy integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She works collaboratively to explore goals, build coping skills, and identify practical steps forward, adjusting methods to match preferences and circumstances.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect for the client’s perspective, creating space to explore values, goals, and personal strengths in a nonjudgmental way. It can be useful for people seeking validation, clarity, and a supportive environment to process life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. This approach is often applied for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges.

Mindfulness-based techniques encourage present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation when facing grief, isolation, or relationship strain.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to stay connected from different locations within Texas. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style so clients can choose the format that feels most accessible and useful for their therapeutic goals.
