About Alexandria

Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues like self-esteem and grief.

She uses several practical therapy approaches and adjusts methods to fit each person. Sessions often include listening, setting clear goals, and practicing new skills. Alexandria has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with telehealth and group counseling.

In groups she has addressed acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. That work shaped how she helps people notice patterns and practice different ways of responding. She pays attention to communication, boundaries, and ways people get stuck in cycles of avoidance or control.

In one-on-one work she draws on approaches that focus on current problems, emotional connection, and practical skill-building. People can expect a mix of talking through situations, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between sessions. The aim is to build clearer thinking and steadier reactions in social and everyday situations.

She works in Texas and provides services in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what someone is experiencing to help them feel understood and to guide their own decisions. It helps people clarify what matters to them and build on their strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical problems like social avoidance.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions to improve how they respond in relationships and stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods based on goals, comfort, and what proves helpful in early sessions. That ongoing check-in helps shape which techniques are used and how they are tried out between meetings.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. In practical terms, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when needed. They also let people try methods like in-the-moment breathing or thought-challenging exercises from wherever they are able to join.
