This is my 2nd review of Alexandra. Everything I said the 1st time about how great she is at her job still stands. I can’t find words to describe how much my life has improved since we started having our weekly sessions. I truly believe the world would be a much better place if everyone had a therapist as professional, caring, considerate and knowledgeable as her.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Perfect! Understands me and sometimes I feel like she can read my mind, in a good way.
Have done already 20 years of sessions of various type and I can say that Alexandra is at par with the other best therapist I had found in my life. She really cares about you, not only as client, but as a human being, and she is really well prepared.
I have been doing therapy for many years, and Alexandra is the best therapist I ever had. She listens carefully, asks intriguing questions, and slowly guides me in identifying and tackling deep issues. She is also not fixed on using a single method and adapts to match my preferences. I am very pleased with my sessions with her and recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and knowledgeable therapist.
Alexandra took me as a client after I had already changed another therapist, and I couldn't have asked for a better professional! I am planning with her a long term plan of sessions and this is the best review I can really think of!
