About Alexandra
LCSW in Florida with 16 years of experience, Alexandra Poolt helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and family concerns using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
Alexandra uses a straightforward style. She talks through how surroundings, relationships, and self-view affect mood. She helps people learn specific tools to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control. Sessions focus on concrete skills, goal-setting, and understanding thoughts and behaviors.
Her background includes a Master’s degree from Columbia University and practice as a social worker in both New York and Florida. That experience shaped her interest in how family and environmental stressors affect the brain and daily functioning. She has worked with a wide range of concerns over 16 years in clinical settings.
In early sessions she assesses current stressors and what the client wants to change. Treatment can include looking at thought patterns with CBT, noticing body-based responses, and setting small, achievable goals. She frames work as collaborative and practical rather than abstract.
For people balancing caregiving, chronic illness, or social anxiety, she applies the same skill-based focus and pacing. Alexandra uses scheduled text, phone, or video contacts during the week and supports initial texting to set up a treatment plan. Sessions emphasize structure and regular check-ins to make progress over time.

How Alexandra uses evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps clarify values and goals so clients can decide what changes to try. This approach is often used when people need a calm space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect actions and mood. Sessions include simple exercises to notice thinking patterns and practice different responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, mindfulness, or motivational techniques.
Practical benefits of working remotely include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a weekday routine. Alexandra has used texting, phone, and video contacts to arrange care and supports initial texting to set a schedule. Since session formats can change, confirm the exact options offered before booking to make sure they fit your needs.
