Alexandria Palmer

Alexandria Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and eating and body-image concerns. She helps clients build self-compassion and better communication skills. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at practical progress rather than labels.

Alexandria frames therapy around the person's lived experience. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings. She listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing different ways to talk with others, or gently testing out safer choices after trauma.

Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's goals. These approaches are adapted to the pace each client prefers rather than applied in a fixed order.

Clients may expect a mix of talking, skill-building exercises, and real-world practice. Sessions often prioritize what feels most urgent - sleep, mood, cravings, or intense emotions - and then layer in longer-term goals like improving self-worth or repairing communication. Alexandria aims to help people feel more steady and able to handle daily demands.

She has four years of clinical experience working with mood and trauma-related issues and related concerns such as impulsivity, panic, and compulsive behaviors. Her work is aimed at practical change and helping people regain a sense of control over their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood; it helps people clarify their goals and notice what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific strategies to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be useful for impulsivity, self-harm urges, or overwhelming panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, comfort level, and what helps in daily life. That means trying practical tools, checking what works, and shifting focus when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in their usual surroundings and bring real-life situations into therapy for immediate feedback and planning.
