Alexandra Brink, LPC

Alexandra Brink is a licensed professional counselor who brings a practical, hopeful presence to sessions. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and low self-esteem. Alexandra emphasizes simple, doable steps and a steady working relationship.

Alexandra earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy and holds the LPC credential. She has about ten years of experience and has split her career between work with children who had mood, behavior, or developmental concerns and later work focused on adults, especially anxiety. That mix gives her familiarity with parenting skills and adult coping strategies.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She draws from mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those fit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines.

Alexandra describes her style as holistic - she looks at how body, mind, and spiritual concerns interact for each person. She emphasizes building a strong, comfortable therapeutic relationship first. From there she helps people set small goals, practice skills between sessions, and track what changes.

Outside of work she balances part-time work with family life in Pennsylvania and spends time painting. Personal experience with chronic illness and life transitions informs her understanding of grief and long-term stress. She aims to be a steady source of support as people work toward clearer coping and more manageable days.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where you are. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to build a trusting working relationship before trying new skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It teaches concrete tools and short exercises you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines.

Mindfulness therapy brings gentle attention to the present moment and can help with stress, panic, and racing thoughts by training simple breathing and noticing practices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, exploration, or short-term problem solving.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills coaching, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging is good for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, child care, or medical needs and to keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.
