Alexandra Conrad, LCSW

Alexandra Conrad is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of practice based in Connecticut. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills.

She trained with a BA in psychology and an MSW, and has worked in community settings, outpatient clinics, schools, crisis services, and state hospital care. That range of settings shaped a practical approach to common and complex problems. Sessions often combine skill teaching with conversations about personal stories and motivation.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. Expect some work on skills for regulating emotion and changing unhelpful thinking. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to increase readiness for change and narrative therapy ideas to examine how personal stories influence behavior.

Her practice addresses issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, substance use, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and midlife changes. She also supports people facing mood disorders, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She emphasizes building confidence and concrete strategies. People who want active skill practice and collaborative planning may find this approach useful.
