About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or low self-esteem. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. Her tone is direct and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She guides conversations about life purpose, self-love, and the changes that come with different life stages. Sessions often include clear goals and small experiments to try outside therapy.
How Alexandra works
The emphasis is on solving immediate problems while building long-term coping skills. Alexandra pays attention to how work and caregiving roles affect daily life. She supports people dealing with workplace issues, caregiver stress, and the challenges of chronic pain, illness, or disability.

Her style is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapted to each person’s needs. She listens for what matters most to the client and offers tools that fit their life and values.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach centers on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active, then testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. Another approach emphasizes pacing and coping strategies for people managing chronic pain or illness, teaching ways to balance activity and rest and to notice unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they try methods that fit the client's daily life and adjust as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue work during life transitions without rearranging travel. Alexandra will discuss which delivery method best supports the goals you bring to therapy.
