About Alexandria
Alexandria Aasen is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, licensed in Nevada and Illinois, with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other concerns common in early adulthood.
She helps clients make practical plans to reach goals and reduce delays caused by life problems.

The work is direct and action-oriented, with attention to both short-term relief and longer term change.

She also addresses intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, career decisions, and stress management. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and substance use concerns.
She works with gender and sexual identity topics, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, and with people involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Other areas noted in her practice include co-morbidity, codependency, domestic violence, hoarding, impulsivity, intellectual disability, and blended family or fatherhood issues.
People who come to Alexandria can expect straightforward talk about what is getting in the way of change and concrete steps to try between sessions. She encourages making small, achievable plans and tracking progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Alexandria uses evidence-based techniques that focus on creating clear plans and changing patterns that cause distress. One common approach she uses emphasizes breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new behaviors between sessions to build momentum and reduce setbacks. This approach often helps with motivation, sleep problems, anxiety, and day-to-day coping.Another approach concentrates on understanding how relationships and past attachment patterns affect current behavior. It involves looking at interaction styles, improving communication, and building more reliable ways of getting needs met. This work can help with relationship conflict, intimacy concerns, codependency, and attachment-related stress.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Alexandria will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is tracked. The collaboration focuses on what is useful and practical for the client's life.
