About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and trauma. She works with people facing depression, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Alexandra speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida, bringing nine years of counseling experience to each session.
Her approach blends body-awareness work with evidence-based talk therapies. She often uses somatic techniques to notice how emotions show up in the body, and pairs that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, usable steps between meetings. Alexandra also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take purposeful action. Attachment-based ideas guide work on communication patterns and connection.
The style is warm and direct, aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming. She has worked with people affected by pregnancy and childbirth concerns, compassion fatigue, and bipolar disorder, among other issues. Conversations often include skill practice for sleep, anger, and coping with life changes.
Alexandra offers a mix of short-term problem-focused work and longer-term support depending on what each person needs. Sessions are available through video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging, matching the pace and format a person prefers. To begin, applicants complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life.
How somatic and talk therapies work online
Aleksandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and somatic-informed techniques to help people notice what matters and how emotions appear in the body. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. Somatic work helps people become aware of tension, breath, and body sensations related to stress and trauma, then practice gentle ways to shift those patterns.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how communication and connection affect wellbeing. That approach is useful for people who want to understand patterns in close relationships and learn different ways to relate. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist and client decide together what fits best for the person's needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. These formats make it possible to practice body-awareness exercises at home, review worksheets between sessions, and use short text check-ins when needed. The variety of options supports flexibility and helps keep progress moving forward.
