About Alexandra
Alexandra "Alex" Dow is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor. She brings ten years of counseling experience and focuses on workplace and wellbeing concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges. Alex works with parents and individuals who are juggling caregiving, blended-family dynamics, or work pressures that affect home life.
She uses practical approaches meant to bring relief and steady progress. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters to each person and then shapes the work to fit those goals. Expect straightforward strategies you can try between appointments.
Alex draws from Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set attainable steps and build momentum. Internal Family Systems informs work on inner conflicts and parts when that fits the issue.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings with a wide range of people. That variety informs a flexible style that balances short-term problem solving with deeper relational work. Alex emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people reduce stress and build better patterns at work and at home.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and then co-create a plan with doable steps. That practical focus supports parents handling pregnancy and childbirth concerns, caregivers facing burnout, and professionals dealing with workplace issues.
How Alex Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Alex often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and values; this approach emphasizes listening and working at the client's pace, which helps when sorting through relationship and parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or workplace stress, often with homework tasks to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try an approach and adjust it as needed. That way the work stays practical and tied to the outcomes the person wants to see.
