About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and anger. Her practice also covers relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation and problem solving. She listens for patterns that keep stress and resentment repeating. Then she helps people try different ways of responding, testing what works in day-to-day life. That can mean practicing new communication habits, spotting triggers, or building routines that reduce burnout.
She has supported people dealing with substance problems, eating and food-related issues, and impulsivity. She also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, control issues, and difficulty with forgiveness or guilt. Work often includes steps to manage overwhelming feelings and to improve decision making under pressure.
Alexandra emphasizes straightforward planning over vague advice. Sessions typically explore immediate challenges and set short-term goals. People learn small, repeatable skills they can use between appointments to ease tension and reduce snapping at loved ones.
Her background includes experience with parenting-related stress, fatherhood issues, and compassion fatigue. She accepts clients from outside the United States and offers services in English. Before booking, users should confirm current session options through the platform.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. One common approach helps people notice automatic thoughts and test them against reality, which can reduce sudden anger and persistent worry. Another method emphasizes learning concrete skills for managing urges and strong feelings, useful for addictions, impulsivity, and emotional reactivity. Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. You and the therapist check progress together and adjust techniques if something isn’t working. Confirm the available session formats before you book, because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make scheduling across time zones simpler. For some people, not being on camera reduces the pressure to perform and helps them focus on practicing skills. Ask about formats and pacing when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine.Areas of focus
