About Alexandra

Alexandra Brink centers her work in approaches that emphasize practical change and present-focused coping, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, she blends evidence-informed techniques and a collaborative stance to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and challenges related to relationships, parenting, and life transitions. Alexandra holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Early in her career she worked extensively with children who had mood, behavioral, or developmental concerns and later shifted much of her practice to supporting adults with anxiety and related issues. She often uses behavior-focused strategies when addressing parenting skills and combines a person-centered, solution-focused orientation when working with adult clients.

Her style tends to be holistic, attending to physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions as they relate to wellbeing. Alexandra notes that a strong therapeutic relationship and a collaborative process are central to progress, and she draws from multiple modalities to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She lives in the Pittsburgh, PA area and balances part-time clinical work with family life.

Online approaches grounded in practical strategies

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression by focusing on concrete skills and gradual changes. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental posture that prioritizes the client's perspective and encourages self-directed growth and insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative decision, adapting methods to match a person's goals, preferences, and current needs rather than applying a single method for everyone.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into everyday life, support continuity during transitions or illness, and allow licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
