About Alexandria
Dr. Alexandria Arthur is a licensed counselor with a Doctoral Degree in Mental Health and ten years of experience. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices from Virginia.
She aims to create a respectful, calm space where people can bring difficult feelings and practical concerns. She focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. She also helps with trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related challenges, addictions, and career or eating and sleeping difficulties.
Background and approach
Additional areas of attention include attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, and relationship communication problems. Her approach adapts to what each person needs. Sessions centre on listening, connecting emotional experiences to the body, and building skills that fit daily life.
She uses somatic-informed work alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people feel more grounded and understood. Dr. Arthur also draws on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical methods to teach coping tools and reduce distressing thoughts and behaviours.
Those methods are used in simple, practical ways so skills carry over between sessions. She offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
The therapy subscription can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Somatic-informed work focuses on how emotions show up in the body. In sessions the therapist helps people notice breath, tension, and movement patterns and links those sensations to feelings and memories. This can be useful for trauma, chronic stress, and patterns that feel stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today. The aim is to build more supported ways of relating to oneself and others, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, and communication problems.
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of the work. The therapist follows the client's pace, listens deeply, and supports self-directed growth. This approach is often combined with practical skill-building from cognitive and behavioral methods.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - offer flexible ways to use these approaches. Video allows face-to-face conversation and some somatic guidance. Phone and messaging can suit people who need more convenience or prefer less visual contact. These options make it easier to keep consistent work in the week-to-week life.
