Alexandra Pajak

Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice. She offers straightforward, supportive care for people facing hard life moments. Alexandra uses clear, practical steps in sessions to help clients cope and move forward.

She describes her style as both supportive and direct. Sessions focus on practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods help people notice unhelpful patterns, build new skills, and manage strong emotions in daily life.

Alexandra earned graduate degrees from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and holds the LCSW credential. Her clinical work covers grief, anxiety, depression, personality concerns, eating challenges, and substance use issues. She also helps with stress, relationship struggles, parenting strain, trauma and recovery, and coping with life changes.

In a typical session she listens closely, offers feedback, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are woven into treatment when helpful. Jungian ideas may also be used to explore deeper themes when appropriate.

She practices in Georgia and provides care in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in heated moments.

She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change. Mindfulness helps people notice their moment-to-moment experience without judgment, which can ease reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps clarify goals and strengthen the motivation to try new strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice may shift over time as needs change.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use approaches like skills coaching and homework review in real time to support coping with life changes.
