About Alexandra

Alexandra Degirolamo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

She approaches each person's challenges with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual strengths, goals, and circumstances. Her work includes support for mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms as well as issues around self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.

Clients may seek Alexandra for help with trauma and grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image difficulties, and a variety of behavioral patterns including impulsivity, codependency, and substance-related challenges. She also addresses family and communication problems, anger, parenting and fatherhood issues, and concerns tied to work and career.

Alexandra emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, viewing the decision to pursue change as a courageous first step she will support throughout the process.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes structured skill building to manage anxiety and stress through strategies for regulation, planning, and problem solving; this kind of work can help with daily functioning and impulse control. Another approach centers on processing emotions and relational patterns to address trauma, grief, and intimacy-related struggles by exploring meanings, safety, and connection in relationships.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapts techniques over time so therapy feels relevant and responsive to what the person needs most.

Online sessions make that collaborative work more accessible through several formats: video calls for conversational depth, phone sessions when visual connection isn't needed, and live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins and flexible communication. These options offer practical flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, travel, or different time zones while making it easier to maintain continuity of care.
