About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with anger. Alexandra aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations to fit individual needs.
She works with people struggling with addictions, relationship troubles, family conflict, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and the challenges that come with life changes.
Background and approach
Alexandra offers practical, down-to-earth support rather than clinical jargon. Sessions center on clear goals and doable steps. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build skills for better coping and decision making.
The work often includes talking through patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small achievable goals between sessions. Alexandra treats problems related to impulsivity, control issues, codependency, and substance use with a focus on manageable strategies and steady progress. She also helps people who are dealing with guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness to reconnect with their values and strengths.
Her approach is respectful and compassionate, aiming to empower people rather than label them. Alexandra encourages clients to take gradual steps toward a more balanced life and supports them throughout the process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alexandra works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes. One common approach helps people learn coping skills to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety by identifying triggering situations and practicing alternative responses. Another approach concentrates on behavior and routine changes to reduce cravings and risky habits, which is useful for people managing addictions or impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as needed. The emphasis is on what feels useful in daily life rather than on fitting someone to a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options that match different routines. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short live chats are useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for ongoing reminders and reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family demands, or travel while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
