About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Alexandra also addresses areas like body image, codependency, communication problems, and ADHD in her practice.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable goals. That can include managing impulses, improving communication, or building a daily routine that reduces overwhelm.
Alexandra has worked across different settings over nearly a decade, giving her familiarity with common early-adult pressures like work stress and changing family roles. She supports clients dealing with substance use and behavioral addictions, and with emotional issues tied to guilt, shame, or emptiness. Her approach includes talking through patterns that keep problems going and trying new ways of responding.
People often come for help with relationships, intimacy, parenting stresses, or career-related choices. Alexandra helps clarify priorities and plan steps toward those goals. Conversations can cover practical skills, reflections on past patterns, and managing strong emotions in the moment.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accepted. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach she applies is problem-focused work that identifies patterns and steps to change them; this helps with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction-related behaviors in concrete ways. Another approach is skills-based work that teaches communication, emotion regulation, and coping strategies for stress, relationship problems, and anger.Deciding which methods to use is collaborative. She will work together with each client to choose techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach and checking in to see what is helping and what to adjust.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when life is hectic. They can also allow sessions from different locations when work or study demands change. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to work in virtual appointments, focusing on skills practice, problem solving, and planning between sessions.
