Alexandria Palmer

Alexandria Palmer is a licensed professional counselor in Alaska who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Alexandria emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer communication as part of everyday change.

She uses person-centered listening to make space for what matters most to each person. That means conversations start where the client is and move at a pace that feels manageable. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.

Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. These tools are taught in simple, repeatable skills people can practice between sessions. Motivational interviewing is brought in when people want to make lasting changes but feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

With four years of clinical experience, Alexandria supports people working through grief, family problems, addictions, body image concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and the everyday fallout from major life changes. She also addresses obsessive thoughts, panic, and symptoms linked to trauma.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear suggestions, skill building, and check-ins on progress. People interested in starting will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people feel heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and test new behaviors. In a remote session this often means short experiments to try between meetings and returning to review what worked and what did not.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers clear tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Skills are introduced in steps so someone can practice them between sessions and report back on progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations that reinforce skill practice. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which online arrangements best support your goals.
