About Alexandra
Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice. She offers straightforward, supportive care for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She emphasizes practical steps that can be used between sessions to ease daily life.
She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. She also draws on mindfulness and Jungian ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in their life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be direct and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear suggestions, concrete coping strategies, and time to talk about how those ideas fit into real routines. The therapist checks in on progress and adjusts plans as needed.
Many people come for anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, or stress related to parenting and relationships. The practice also addresses attention concerns, body image, trauma, and patterns like codependency or attachment issues. Alexandra works with a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
She has graduate degrees from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and holds LCSW licensure in North Dakota and Maine as noted. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Approaches that translate to online care
Alexandra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on small, testable changes that can reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tools. DBT skills are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what helps. Clients help set the pace and choose which skills to practice between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for in-depth conversational work and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text, chat, or messaging can support quick coaching, skill reminders, or brief check-ins between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to work around parenting schedules, work hours, or travel, while keeping therapy consistent and focused on real-life changes.
