About Alexandra

Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers practical, down-to-earth therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Alexandra draws on sixteen years of experience to help people regain a sense of control and move toward change.

She blends straightforward talk with hands-on tools. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness to calm the body, or setting small achievable goals.

Background and approach

Conversations often include attention to how work, family, and daily life shape feelings and reactions. Alexandra has a Master’s degree from Columbia University and has studied how family and environmental stressors affect the brain.

Her background as a social worker has led to work across a range of emotional and practical problems, including caregiver stress and challenges tied to chronic pain or illness. Sessions typically begin with short text contact to arrange a schedule. From there she uses scheduled video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to keep treatment focused and consistent.

She aims to respond to interim messages within 24 to 48 hours. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. People who want clear tools and steady support may find this approach useful.

Alexandra practices in Florida as an LCSW (FL LCSW SW21944).

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify goals and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include thought records, behavior experiments, and short between-session exercises to try in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist check in together about progress and tweak the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options help make regular, focused work possible without travel or scheduling major time blocks.
