About Alexander

Alexander Regalado is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of professional experience. He is licensed as an LCSW in Colorado and practices with a focus on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. He works with people who are struggling with these concerns and related issues such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, and intimacy challenges.

Alexander frames sessions around direct conversation and practical steps. He uses clear language and collaborative planning so clients know what to expect from week to week. Sessions commonly include goal setting, skills practice, and checking how strategies fit into daily life.

His background includes supporting people facing substance use and co-occurring mental health issues, including drug and alcohol addiction and bipolar features. He also addresses relationship-related concerns like communication problems, codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, and fatherhood-related strains.

Alexander draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. He incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those approaches match a client’s goals. This mix is used to help people reduce anxiety, manage cravings, regulate emotions, and improve day-to-day coping.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect his New York practice location. He asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire to start the process and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Alexander often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open, respectful conversation and helps clarify what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are a good fit. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work together, and he will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on learning and practicing skills that carry across daily routines rather than on any specific platform detail.
