Alexandra Garrison, LMHC

Alexandra Garrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps adults facing addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers a warm, inviting style and encourages clients to take the lead in setting goals. Her approach centers on listening closely and gently challenging patterns that get in the way of daily life.

With 11 years of experience, she has worked with people who live with co-occurring diagnoses and trauma histories, as well as those needing general support. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce harm, manage strong emotions, and rebuild confidence. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs on any given day.

Alexandra emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients name unhelpful routines, try small behavior changes, and notice progress over time. The aim is steady movement toward clearer choices and better coping skills.

Her intake begins by asking about current struggles and what a successful outcome would look like. From there she and the client build a plan that fits daily life. People leave sessions with specific ideas they can try between meetings.

Because she practices in Florida, sessions follow local licensure rules. Conversations are conducted in English and shaped around the client’s goals and pace.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful behaviors and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that keep a problem going and trying small behavior changes to break those cycles; this helps with addiction, control issues, and daily routines. Another approach concentrates on emotion regulation and practical coping skills so people can respond differently to anger and stress rather than react automatically.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that feel workable, and adjust based on what helps. That shared process makes it easier to find strategies that fit daily life and feel realistic to use between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different rhythms of work and homework between meetings so progress can continue outside the session.
