About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, self-esteem, and confidence. Her work also covers depression, grief, and relationship concerns including intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
She typically starts by listening to what feels most pressing and then shaping conversations to practical goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies for anxiety, approaches to manage cravings, and clearer ways to communicate with others. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts them to individual circumstances.
Alexandra has worked across a range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and parenting-related stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and eating and food-related issues. Where problems involve impulse or anger, sessions often include steps for immediate de-escalation and longer-term behavior changes.
People who are dealing with life transitions, career strain, or compassion fatigue can expect practical planning and problem-solving in sessions. Alexandra pays attention to how daily routines and relationships affect mood and behavior. She encourages small changes that make daily life more manageable.
Her approach is straightforward and task-focused while remaining respectful and sensitive to personal history. She works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and reviews progress regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Alexandra uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety and addictive behaviors. One common approach focuses on developing concrete coping skills for anxiety such as breath work, graded exposure to feared situations, and step-by-step practice of social tasks. Another frequently used method targets addictive behaviors by working on triggers, building alternative routines, and creating short-term plans to reduce risky responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each client to choose techniques that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods based on what is most helpful in real life. This collaborative process includes reviewing progress and changing plans when needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice speaking in real time, while audio-only meetings can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed.
