About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience based in New York. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. Alexandra also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and workplace issues.
Her sessions aim to be practical and clear. She listens for what is most pressing and works with each person on concrete steps they can try between meetings. Conversations often include coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to approach difficult social situations more gradually.
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the problems a person brings. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and then tests small changes to see what helps. This can include breaking down a feared social task, practicing manageable exposures, or building short routines for stress management.
She pays attention to how life roles and responsibilities shape stress, such as caregiving or workplace demands. Alexandra also supports people coping with chronic health challenges, helping them adjust goals and find sustainable coping methods. Sessions address both immediate relief and longer-term habits.
People who prefer clear plans and practical steps may find her approach helpful. To start, visitors are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session after completing a short questionnaire.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in day-to-day life. One common approach is behavioral exposure work, which breaks down feared social moments into small, achievable steps and practices them gradually to reduce avoidance. Another is skill-based stress management, which teaches short, practical tools for emotional regulation and coping when anxiety rises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals and current challenges. She adjusts the plan as needed, checking in about what feels useful and what needs changing, so the work stays relevant and manageable.
