About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, anger, and related issues. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and practices in Florida.
Her practice brings together several established approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas inform work around communication, control issues, and close relationships.
Sessions are conversational and practical. She favors clear skills practice - for example grounding, breathing, behavioral experiments, and communication exercises - alongside reflective work about patterns that keep problems repeating. For people coping with grief, addiction, or perinatal concerns, she combines symptom-focused tools with attention to underlying relational patterns.
Alexandra also draws on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. She frames treatment as collaborative and problem-focused, helping clients set short- and medium-term goals. Progress is tracked through concrete changes such as fewer angry outbursts, improved sleep, or better communication at home.
Her background includes work in maternal and infant mental health and substance use settings. That experience informs her approach to parenting struggles, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and compassion fatigue in caregiving roles.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify what matters most to them and take values-based steps even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for people who want to reduce reactive behavior and act more in line with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that lead to angry responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean prioritizing skills practice at first, then shifting to deeper relational or attachment work as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Video may be useful for practicing communication exercises, while shorter phone check-ins can help maintain progress between full sessions. Licensed professionals tailor pace and focus so sessions align with everyday responsibilities and goals.
