About Alexandria

Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief, trauma and anger. Her practice also includes support for career concerns, parenting, depression, and mood conditions such as bipolar.

She takes a client-centered approach and adapts techniques to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She combines cognitive-behavioral tools with emotion-focused work and mindfulness strategies to help people manage strong feelings and improve how they relate to others.

Alexandria has worked in both in-patient and outpatient settings. She has provided counseling in person and via telehealth, and currently facilitates group counseling that looks at acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. That mix gives her experience with short-term and ongoing clinical work.

In sessions she listens for patterns that feed anger and frustration, then uses conversation and concrete exercises to interrupt those patterns. She also addresses related issues like codependency, communication problems, control issues, and impulsivity when they come up. The work looks at practical choices people can try between visits.

Her stated style emphasizes collaboration. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and helps them identify strengths to build on. People who want straightforward, skills-oriented support for anger, relationship strain, and related concerns may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies goals so practical change can follow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It uses exercises and homework to reduce anger, anxiety, and unhelpful reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional responses in relationships and helps people notice and change how they respond to strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends approaches as needed and checks in to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for a quicker check-in during a lunch break. Others prefer longer, scheduled sessions to work through deeper patterns. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling pattern and session length will best match your day-to-day life.
