Alexandra Poolt, LCSW

Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people understand why they feel stressed, anxious, or depressed and works with them to set achievable goals. Alexandra uses practical tools and a collaborative style to help clients regain a sense of control and move toward change.

She draws on client-centered methods that put the person's experience first. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behavior patterns, and mindfulness practices to notice body and mind connections. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to clarify what a person wants and to support small, doable steps toward that change.

Alexandra has a Master’s degree from Columbia University and experience studying how family and environmental stressors affect the brain. Her background includes working across settings with a wide variety of people and concerns. She has treated long-term and severe emotional health issues as well as more recent stressors.

Her practice often supports people coping with caregiver stress, chronic pain, illness or disability, social anxiety and phobia, and relationship or family concerns. She describes therapy as a place to process feelings with an objective listener and to practice tools that build hope and control.

Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Florida. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so they match your needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person and creates space to talk through feelings and goals. In online work that means sessions prioritize the client's agenda and use reflective listening to help clarify concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. In remote sessions CBT often includes simple exercises to try between meetings, thought records, and step-by-step plans to change unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness therapy invites noticing body sensations and internal experience without judgment. Online mindfulness practice can give people tools to manage stress, chronic pain, or anxiety by bringing awareness to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to weigh your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats can vary. The original biography indicates use of scheduled text, phone, and video sessions during the work week, with texting sometimes used to set a regular meeting time. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and support consistent practice between sessions.
