She also supports people working through guilt, shame, and family of origin issues.
Alex has practiced in a range of settings and has worked with clients facing workplace stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, control issues, and forgiveness challenges. Her background includes addressing ADHD-related struggles alongside trauma and abuse recovery. She is licensed in both South Carolina and North Carolina and conducts therapy in English.
Alex encourages a step-by-step process so people can try an approach and adjust it as needed. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that first session understandable and manageable.

Online support
Approach-focused care delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and starts by listening closely to what matters most to them; this approach helps people feel heard and guides decisions based on their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses small, practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps sessions practical and focused on what the client needs most.
Online sessions make this flexibility possible through multiple formats. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, homework discussion, or times when typing fits better than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
