About Alexandra

Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of professional experience offering practical, evidence-informed care.

Background and approach

She frames therapy with a supportive yet straightforward style, blending strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people address patterns that interfere with daily functioning and relationships.

Alexandra’s work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, and ADHD, along with related issues such as body image, attachment difficulties, and coping with major life changes. Clients can expect a collaborative process that combines skill-building and insight-oriented reflection.

Alexandra draws on mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to bolster resilience and encourage sustainable behavior change, and she also incorporates Jungian perspectives when exploring deeper patterns and personal meaning. With practice options that include video, phone, chat, and messaging, she aims to make consistent care manageable within busy lives and shifting schedules.

Integrating practical approaches for online care

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and difficulties with daily routines. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship strain. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity when helpful.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra partners with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. She emphasizes skill-building alongside deeper exploration to match short-term needs and longer-term growth.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it possible to maintain consistent care while fitting therapy into work, family, and other commitments, and they support varied ways of working depending on what feels most helpful to the individual.
