About Alejandra
Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage life when health, relationships or behaviour feel overwhelming. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing addictions, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and related concerns. She brings three years of practice to her work and is a BACP member, which is noted as her professional credential.
Alejandra uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and refocus on chosen values. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas guide work around trust, connection and long-standing relationship patterns.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Alejandra helps people identify what matters to them, try small changes, and track what does and does not work. She also offers EMDR-informed work for people processing traumatic memories, alongside client-centred listening that keeps the person’s perspective central.
The therapist often supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, or long-term pain by addressing the emotional and relational fallout of health challenges. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image, codependency, communication problems and commitment worries.
People can expect a calm and collaborative approach. Alejandra focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions based on availability.

How Alejandra’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for addictions, ongoing health challenges and relationship choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is practical and problem-focused, helping people identify thinking patterns and try different behaviours to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship histories and how they shape trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques if something does not fit.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and medical appointments, and it can reduce the time spent travelling. Some formats make video-based conversation possible, while others may allow shorter check-ins or phone-only sessions that need less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online work often adapt exercises and EMDR-informed protocols for remote sessions so that therapy remains practical and focused on everyday life.
