About Alexandra
Alexandra Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting and social anxiety and phobia among the issues she works with. Alexandra emphasizes hope and practical steps for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Alexandra trained in clinical mental health therapy and holds a Master’s degree from Regent University. Early in her career she worked with children who had mood, behavior, or developmental challenges. More recently she has focused on adults, particularly around anxiety and related concerns.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with solution-focused techniques. She also uses cognitive and behavior-based tools and mindfulness strategies when they fit a person's needs. Motivational interviewing is sometimes part of sessions to help set and follow through on realistic goals.
Alexandra pays attention to how physical health, mental habits, and spiritual concerns interact. She says looking at the whole experience - body, mind, and spirit - can change how someone copes with life changes, grief, or chronic illness. She aims to help people build practical skills, reduce stress, and manage panic or social anxiety in everyday situations.
Outside of work she cares for three children and lives near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has personal experience with long-term illness and life change, which she says informs her understanding of caregiver stress and grief. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Online sessions that use talk, tools, and mindfulness
Alexandra commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience so the therapist can respond to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, panic, and unhelpful patterns.She also incorporates mindfulness practice to help people notice stress and react differently in social situations. Mindfulness techniques are brief exercises that train attention and can be used when anxiety starts to rise, such as before a social event or public speaking moment.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts as progress is made.
