About Alexandria
Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses client-centered care to help people regain confidence and move forward. She brings eight years of counseling experience and focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people notice strengths and build on them.
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused techniques are used when relationships and attachment patterns are part of the concern. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support readiness for change and to build everyday coping skills. Her background includes working in both in-patient and outpatient settings.
She has provided counseling to youth and adults, and she has experience offering care in person and through telehealth. She also facilitates group counseling around acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, anger, and bipolar-related issues.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and isolation. Alexandria aims to work alongside each person to match techniques to their goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small changes that add up.
She encourages people to use their existing strengths while learning new ways to cope and connect.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and priorities and creates space for you to lead the process. The therapist listens closely and adapts session work to what matters most to you, which can help when parenting stress or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and building small habits that reduce anxiety, low mood, or conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that influence how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful when attachment, communication, or relationship patterns are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter updates, skill practice between sessions, or a different way to communicate when typing feels easier. These options make scheduling simpler and allow sessions to fit into busy days.
