About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to parenting. She also supports those coping with trauma, substance concerns, grief, and intimacy-related struggles.
Her approach is warm and direct. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps parents can try between meetings. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors work to daily life and realistic goals.
Background and approach
Alexandra draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She applies attachment-focused ideas to improve bonding and communication patterns.
She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people act in line with their values despite hard feelings. She has experience in maternal and infant mental health and in substance use and trauma work. That background shapes how she supports pregnancy, childbirth-related concerns, and early parenting stress.
Her practice often addresses sleep disruption, compassion fatigue, and adjusting to life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are provided to people located in Florida. Alexandra works in a collaborative way and helps people set achievable steps.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy parents and caregivers.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Alexandra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy or parenting concerns.She also brings elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when strong emotions are present. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face from home while phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when someone prefers typing. These options give flexibility for busy parents and caregivers to fit therapy into their schedules.
