About Alexandra

Alexandra Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a hopeful, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She emphasizes a warm, person-centered style and encourages people to take small steps forward. Alexandra believes a strong working relationship helps people make real change, and she aims to create a space where clients feel understood.

Alexandra earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and has been licensed since 2014. She spent the first part of her career working with children who had mood, behavior, or developmental challenges. More recently she has focused on adults dealing with anxiety and related concerns.

Her work with parents and children often draws on behavior-based techniques to teach practical skills. When supporting adults she leans toward person-centered and solution-focused methods, and she is willing to combine approaches to fit a person’s needs. Alexandra also pays attention to physical health and spiritual concerns as part of a broader, holistic view of wellbeing.

She lists areas of focus that include stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, family issues, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional topics she addresses include caregiver stress, autism and Asperger Syndrome, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and panic symptoms.

Alexandra lives near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and balances part-time work with family life. She has personal experience with chronic illness and with major life changes, which shapes her understanding of grief and resilience. She invites people to reach out and begin with a simple conversation.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, grief, or relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns in daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice the present moment without judgment. This can reduce rumination, lessen stress, and support coping with chronic illness or life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and specific concerns rather than imposing one way of working.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice for remote sessions to help people make steady progress.
