About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and addiction-related challenges. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.
Her work emphasizes practical skills and steady communication. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, learn coping tools, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Alexandra has experience that includes maternal and infant mental health, substance use work, and trauma-related care. She has supported people through pregnancy and childbirth concerns, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues. Her clinical background informs straightforward strategies for emotion regulation and relationship communication.
She describes a flexible, eclectic approach that adapts methods to a person’s goals. That can mean practicing grounding and breathing skills, testing thoughts against evidence, or focusing on attachment patterns that influence close relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take manageable steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating formed in close relationships and helps people change how they connect with others, which can help with intimacy and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to identify goals and choose which approaches fit best. This is a collaborative conversation that can shift as needs change over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, for example by allowing shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or reducing the need to be on camera. It can also let a person practice skills and apply them between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-based work, and CBT to an online setting so the focus remains on practical skill-building and clearer communication.
