About Alexandra

Alexandra Branca is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Rhode Island with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and life changes.

Background and approach

ADHD is listed among her areas of focus, along with concerns such as sleeping issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her work also includes support for those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, fertility and end-of-life matters, and problems around communication, impulsivity, and isolation.

Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate stance that centers each person’s goals and strengths. Alexandra draws on evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills, clarify values, and develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions or life transitions.

She aims to create a respectful space for exploring grief, relationship patterns, commitment questions, and the practical impacts of chronic health conditions. Clients can expect a therapist who prioritizes empathy, clear communication, and tailored interventions.

Alexandra works to empower people to gain insight, strengthen resilience, and put sustainable coping tools into practice to improve day-to-day functioning and interpersonal connections.

Approaches that guide online care

Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as primary frameworks in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can move toward meaningful action even when uncomfortable emotions are present.

The choice of approach is collaborative. Alexandra partners with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she remains open to adjusting strategies as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions to concerns such as relationship strain, grief, chronic health challenges, or difficulties related to attention and focus.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to continue consistent work between sessions, access care from different locations within Rhode Island, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
