About Alexander
Alexander Regalado is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to his work in New York. He uses straightforward, respectful language to help people begin, sometimes difficult, conversations about stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression. Alexander aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
He meets people where they are and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. That can mean practical coping tools for anxiety, strategies to manage substance use, or pacing work through trauma and abuse concerns.
Background and approach
He focuses on clear goals and small steps that build confidence over time. Sessions are collaborative. Alexander listens first, then helps set a plan that fits daily life and priorities.
He values sensitivity and respect and adapts his approach as needs change. Alexander has worked on related issues such as compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain, and mood instability like bipolar symptoms. He also addresses attachment and relationship patterns, codependency, guilt, and forgiveness.
He is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW and also holds the CSW credential. In practice he uses a mix of client-centered conversation, structured skills, and motivational methods to help people make progress.
Approaches and online options for practical progress
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify goals, and supports people as they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals, and comfort. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage in therapy.
