Alexandra Thomson

Alexandra Thomson is a New York LCSW with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or rethinking what matters after life changes. Alexandra helps people facing relationship tension, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and questions about life purpose.

She often supports women dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, caregiver stress, and workplace strain. Alexandra also works with people managing chronic pain or illness and those noticing codependent patterns in close relationships. Her focus includes practical coping skills for daily pressures and clearer thinking about next steps.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems and patterns. Conversations are focused and action-oriented, with attention to real-life challenges like balancing responsibilities and handling triggers. She aims to help people try new ways of responding to stress rather than just talking about it.

Clients can expect straightforward collaboration on goals and strategies. Alexandra pays attention to what is working and what is getting in the way, and she adjusts the plan as needed. People leave sessions with concrete steps to practice between meetings.

Her background as a licensed clinical social worker in New York informs work with practical life issues. Alexandra draws on five years of experience to support adults navigating transitions, workplace concerns, and questions about meaning and direction.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Alexandra uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing how people respond to stress and anxiety. One common method involves teaching practical coping skills and breathing or grounding tools to manage panic and high anxiety. These skills help with immediate symptoms and daily interruptions.

She also draws on structured approaches that examine unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more realistic thoughts. That work helps with low self-esteem, social anxiety, and workplace doubts by breaking down situations and trying small behavioral changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust based on what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday or therapy without commuting. It can also reduce time lost to travel and help maintain continuity of care during transitions.
