About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, or changes in their life. Her style is grounded and compassionate, aimed at practical steps parents can use each week.
She focuses on issues that often affect daily family life such as parenting strain, relationship tension, and communication problems. She also supports people facing depression, grief, anger, or challenges with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Alexandra pays attention to how these difficulties affect routines, work, and caring for others. Sessions are tailored to the individual. Conversations and goals are shaped around what matters most to each person.
She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while encouraging realistic, manageable changes. Over nine years she has worked with people dealing with addictions, ADHD, bipolar struggles, and trauma responses. That background helps her spot patterns and offer straightforward strategies for coping.
She also addresses related concerns like body image, codependency, and forgiveness. Many clients want help balancing parenting duties with personal needs. Alexandra supports parents navigating boundaries, burnout, and communication breakdowns.
She helps clients set small goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that fit online parenting support
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear tools and practical changes. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, behavior changes, and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and communication, helping people notice interaction habits and try new ways of speaking and setting boundaries that reduce conflict and increase connection. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This makes sessions feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Online formats make regular work on parenting and life challenges easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs a shorter way to connect between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for follow-up, homework review, and maintaining momentum during change.Questions people ask about Alexandra
