About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, family problems, low self-esteem, and motivation. She also helps people facing grief, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, and life changes.
She frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens for what is not working and helps clients try different ways of responding. That can mean setting small goals, practicing new communication habits, or learning ways to manage intense feelings in the moment.
Her background includes work with people who struggle with substance use, eating and body-image concerns, impulsivity, and attention difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, and the specific tensions that come from family roles and fatherhood issues.
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as talking through patterns that keep problems repeating. Alexandra adapts the structure of sessions to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, steadier routines, and better ways of asking for what they need.
If someone is looking for a counselor who offers straightforward, skills-focused work around family and parenting pressures, relationship strain, or addictive behaviors, Alexandra provides that kind of practical support. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Practical approaches you can use online
Alexandra works from evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and real-life practice. One common method is behavioral work that breaks problems into manageable steps and builds habits through repeated practice. This approach helps with anxiety, motivation, and addictive patterns by creating small, achievable changes.Another helpful approach is skills-based emotional regulation work that teaches ways to notice and reduce intense reactions. That kind of work can support people dealing with anger, grief, trauma symptoms, or impulsivity by offering concrete tools to use in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions often make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the schedule. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises for phone or video meetings depending on what works best for the client.
