About Alessandra

Alessandra Baird is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the everyday challenges that come with relationships and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings 14 years of clinical experience in Utah and adapts her work to each client's needs, drawing on evidence-based methods to address issues like trauma, depression, grief, addictions, and ADHD. Her style blends warmth and empathy with direct, practical guidance so clients can make progress without feeling judged.

Alessandra has training in EMDR for trauma and regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method among other approaches. She has worked across multiple settings and uses that varied background to tailor treatment plans that fit a person’s goals and circumstances.

Alessandra aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where questions are welcome and clients can weigh whether the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. She does not combine religion with research-based treatment and is transparent about helping clients find another clinician if that would better meet their needs.

Evidence-based approaches for online healing and growth

Alessandra commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to help people reprocess distressing memories and lessen their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alessandra works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, then recommends or integrates methods that fit those needs rather than relying on a single modality. This collaborative planning helps clients feel involved and supported as they try different strategies.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, allow follow-up between sessions, and let clients access a licensed professional from their own location when in-person visits are not practical.
