About Alexandria
Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She uses a range of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and mood concerns. Her style centers on listening and guiding clients toward practical steps they can try between sessions.
She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find motivation for change. She also uses client-centered methods to make space for each person's experience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools appear when they match a client's concerns.
Alexandria has about eight years of experience working in both in-patient and outpatient settings. She has provided care for adults and youth through in-person sessions and telehealth, and she currently facilitates group counseling that addresses acculturation, adjustment, self-esteem, goal-setting, self-harm, and trauma themes.
In sessions she aims to work alongside clients rather than tell them what to do. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and notice progress in small steps. Practical strategies and clear conversation are common parts of her work.
Her focus areas include relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anger, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, isolation, and related struggles.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from Texas. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform's Start Therapy flow.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alexandria integrates Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to virtual work. Motivational Interviewing uses curiosity and open questions to help people find their own reasons for change, which can work over video or phone. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, creating space for feelings and priorities during a session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and often includes concrete exercises or homework that can be tracked between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography indicates she has experience with telehealth, but specific current session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills practice without extra travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, mindfulness practices, and motivational conversations to fit a client’s day-to-day life. -
