About Alexandra
Alexandra Castellaccio is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life changes. She focuses on practical support for anger, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and coping when life feels overwhelming. Alexandra works from New York and communicates in English.
With eight years of experience, she offers straightforward, respectful care. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and steady progress rather than jargon. Alexandra aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what’s hard and learn tools that actually fit their day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques such as trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing. She uses a strength-based perspective to help people notice what works for them already, then build on those strengths. Psychoeducation is part of sessions so clients understand why certain strategies help.
Alexandra has worked across many settings in New York, supporting people dealing with depression, substance use, legal involvement, and major transitions. That background informs a practical style that balances empathy with direct skills training. The goal is steady improvement and more control over reactions and choices.
People who reach out can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and concrete next steps. Alexandra helps clients set realistic goals, practice new responses to anger and stress, and track small wins over time.

Practical approaches for online anger and stress work
Alexandra uses trauma-informed care to help people understand how past experiences can shape reactions today. This approach emphasizes safety, respect, and pacing so people can address difficult memories while building coping skills. Motivational interviewing is another tool she often uses; it helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to make those changes in ways that fit their life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques to match goals and preferences. Together they set targets, try strategies, and review what helps most so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing encouragement and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
