About Alexandra
Alexandra Garrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. Alexandra also helps people who struggle with control issues that feed into daily stress.
Her approach gives the client a lead role in sessions. She listens and then offers gentle challenges to recurring patterns that keep problems going. Conversations are practical and focused on noticing what gets in the way of desired behavior and feelings.
Sessions often look at how anger and resentment build up in relationships and at work. She helps people name triggers, try different responses, and practice new habits between sessions. For addictions and co-occurring concerns she balances direct discussion of behaviors with attention to how feelings and relationships influence those behaviors.
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work rather than relying on untested methods. She supports adults who need general help with life transitions or who are dealing with traumatic experiences that affect day-to-day functioning. Her style aims to be inviting while also offering clear feedback and direction.
People who want straightforward, adult-focused help with anger, control issues, or addiction-related struggles will find a practical orientation in her work. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work fits your life
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on recognizing patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger and addictive behavior, then practicing different responses in everyday situations. This helps people reduce reactive responses and build more intentional habits. Another approach emphasizes working through how relationships and life stressors contribute to anger and control struggles; sessions look at real interactions and try out alternative ways to respond that feel manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying methods and adjusting them together as progress is observed.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
