About Alexandra
Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience. She connects practical tools with everyday life to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Alexandra writes plainly and focuses on realistic steps people can use between sessions.
She frames emotional struggles as arising from what surrounds someone - their environment, relationships, and self-view. In sessions she helps people name stressors and notice how thoughts affect behavior. That often leads to simple strategies to reduce symptoms and regain a sense of control.
Her background includes graduate study at Columbia University and work examining how family and environmental stressors affect the brain. That training informs how she looks at patterns that repeat across situations and relationships.
Alexandra uses approaches such as client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match each person’s needs. She pays attention to the body-mind connection and sets achievable goals with clients so change feels manageable.
She offers a mix of text contact and scheduled sessions during the week and aims to respond to messages within 24 to 48 hours. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then sessions are scheduled according to her availability in Florida.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be helpful for relationship and family-related stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. In online sessions she may use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice specific skills to change them, useful for anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That choice can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Alexandra indicates she prefers scheduled text, phone, or video contacts and starts with texting to set a plan. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, all of which help maintain consistency in treatment.
