About Alexandra
Alexandra Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting and family matters, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Alexandra also works with issues such as postpartum depression, panic, social anxiety, caregiver stress, and questions related to autism and intellectual disability.
She trained in clinical mental health therapy and has an academic background in marriage and family studies. Early in her career she worked with children with mood, behavior, and developmental disorders. More recently she has focused on adults dealing with anxiety and related concerns.
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with solution-focused techniques. She also uses cognitive and mindfulness-based methods and motivational interviewing when helpful. In sessions she pays attention to the whole person - physical symptoms, emotional reactions, and spiritual concerns - when clients want that considered.
Alexandra emphasizes building a strong working relationship first. She aims to make clients feel understood and heard, then to move toward clear, practical steps. For parents she draws on behavior-focused ideas when discussing parenting skills and child behavior.
Outside of work she balances part-time practice with family life in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. She has lived with chronic illness for many years and says that personal experience shapes how she responds to grief, health setbacks, and big life transitions.
How sessions work
How Alexandra’s approaches translate to online work
Alexandra commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and helping you reflect on what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.She also brings mindfulness-based ideas into sessions, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus. These approaches are often used for anxiety, panic, stress, and for building parenting skills or handling difficult reactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Alexandra will talk with you about goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. She aims to make small, practical changes that fit into everyday life rather than promising a single fixed path.
