About Alexandria
Alexandria Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Her practice also addresses attention challenges such as ADHD and problems with sleep, eating, and addiction.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. Conversations center on what feels most pressing in day-to-day life, like upsetting interactions at home or difficulty managing strong emotions. Practical skills are taught and practiced during appointments so people leave with tools they can use right away.
Her usual approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to help with mood difficulties, compulsive behaviors, panic symptoms, and coping with grief or loss. Sessions may include skills for managing impulsivity, regulating intense feelings, and improving communication.
Palmer pays attention to how past experiences shape current problems. She helps people name patterns tied to guilt, shame, emptiness, or isolation and then tests small changes to shift those patterns. The focus is on steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
People looking for a counselor in Alaska who addresses parenting stress, family problems, veterans issues, or obsessive and compulsive symptoms will find her approach practical and direct. To begin, prospective clients follow the service's matching and scheduling steps to set up a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in relationships, parenting, or daily routines.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into the thoughts, feelings, and actions that keep them going. CBT teaches practical strategies for panic, depression, compulsive behaviors, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive urges. Those skills are useful when anger, self-harm urges, or high reactivity interfere with family life or work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Progress is measured in everyday changes like better communication, fewer panic episodes, or improved sleep.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit appointments into busy home lives, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or remove the need to travel. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about timing, session length, and whether video or another option might suit practical needs.
