Alexandra Stanton

Alexandra Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and questions about life purpose. Her practice also addresses communication problems, social anxiety, feelings of guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation, and building self-love.

She focuses on clear, practical conversations that help people untangle what feels stuck. Sessions look at everyday patterns - how stress shows up, how relationships or self-talk keep old habits alive, and what small changes might shift momentum. Alexandra helps people sharpen communication skills and set manageable steps toward greater confidence.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem-solving and skill building. That means conversations include concrete options for coping with anxiety, tools for handling social situations, and ways to rebuild self-regard after hard experiences. Therapy is collaborative, with the client and therapist deciding which methods fit best.

People often come wanting help to clarify what matters next or to move past discouragement after a life change. Alexandra helps break those issues into specific goals and practical practices. She emphasizes learning skills that can be used between sessions to steadily reduce overwhelm and isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and are conducted from her New York practice. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their schedules and needs.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem-solving. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical experiments; this helps reduce anxiety and reframe self-critical thoughts. Another approach centers on building communication and interpersonal skills through role practice and step-by-step exposure, which can ease social anxiety and improve relationships.

Deciding which methods to use is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan as progress or challenges appear.

Because the biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule therapy around daily obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and between-session practices to remote sessions so the work continues between appointments.
