About Alexandria
Dr. Alexandria Arthur brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice in Virginia. She has a Doctoral Degree in Mental Health and holds LPCC and LPC credentials.
She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or depression. She also supports those facing issues with self-esteem, motivation, and major life changes. Her sessions are built around respectful, sensitive, and compassionate conversation.
She adapts the pace and topics to each person's needs.
Background and approach
People can expect a plan that is practical and aimed at small, manageable steps. Dr. Arthur uses a mix of approaches tailored to what helps most in a case.
She draws from attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns and from cognitive methods to identify unhelpful thoughts. She also uses emotion-focused and skills-based strategies when people feel flooded or stuck. She often helps with difficult experiences such as grief, addiction-related problems, intimacy concerns, and coping after separation or loss.
Other areas she supports include sleep and eating concerns, body image, chronic illness or pain, and communication issues. Phobias are listed among her areas of focus. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She aims to empower people to make changes that matter, one step at a time. Seeking help is a first move toward feeling more in control, and she offers steady support through that process.
Approach-driven care in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people respond to stress and loss. It can help when patterns of closeness or distance cause repeated fights, avoidance, or feelings of abandonment.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting therapeutic connection. It helps people feel heard and offers a space to sort through emotions and make values-based choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and phobias where specific strategies and behavioral experiments can reduce distress.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past, then tailor methods to fit the person's needs. This keeps the work focused and responsive as goals shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging make check-ins and brief coaching easier between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or other commitments.
