Alexandra Garrison

Alexandra Garrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She works with adults who are coping with addiction, relationship stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, control issues, and major life changes. Her approach starts with listening to what's most important to each person and respecting their pace.

She describes therapy as a brave step toward understanding yourself. Sessions are warm and inviting, and she encourages clients to take the lead in setting goals. She offers gentle challenge when patterns show up that keep people stuck or repeating the same problems.

Over 11 years in practice she has supported people navigating co-occurring concerns and trauma, plus the ripple effects those issues have on daily life and relationships. She aims to make conversations practical, helping clients see small changes that make routines easier and stress more manageable.

In sessions she focuses on clear, simple steps rather than jargon. People can expect direct conversation, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting. The therapist works to create a space where adults can try new ways of thinking and acting without pressure.

If you want help sorting through a major transition or the fallout from addiction or trauma, she can help map a path forward. To begin, people are invited to match with her through the Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits their life.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Alexandra practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new behaviors in everyday life. This method helps people see whether small adjustments reduce stress or conflict at home and work. Another approach involves building coping skills to manage strong emotions like anger or urges tied to addiction. That work centers on skill practice, short behavioral experiments, and planning for high-risk moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together, they decide which methods fit best and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time and help people keep appointments during transitions or hectic weeks. If you want to schedule sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how visits are conducted. The focus is on practical support that can be applied between meetings to help manage life changes and addiction-related challenges.
