About Alexandra
Alexandra Lopez de Haro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii with 13 years of experience. She works with young adults and other adults on trauma and abuse, depression, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Alexandra can carry conversations in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Alexandra focuses on practical steps that feel doable. She helps people understand patterns that keep causing pain, like attachment wounds, codependency, or control issues. Sessions include talking through past hurts such as abandonment, domestic violence, or immigration-related stress, and building clearer ways to manage anger, impulsivity, and shame.
She pays attention to how identity and culture shape what someone needs. That includes gender dysphoria, body image concerns, and multicultural stressors. Work often touches on communication problems and isolation or loneliness that come with big life transitions.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people rebuild self-esteem and find a steadier way forward. Practical tools and short-term coping strategies are balanced with exploring deeper patterns that affect relationships and life purpose.
People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. The intake asks about current struggles and priorities, then sessions focus on skills practice, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning different ways to respond. This helps with depression, low self-esteem, and problems with anger or impulsivity.Trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the hold past events have on day-to-day life by processing memories and building coping skills. These approaches are commonly used for trauma, abuse, and attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as new priorities emerge.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, skip travel time, and keep appointments during school or work breaks. They can also allow shorter check-ins when bandwidth or time is limited. Ask about language options and scheduling when arranging the first appointment to make sure the format suits your routine.
