About Alexandra

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 13 years of experience. Alexandra Stanton helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Stanton works with individuals who feel isolated or overwhelmed by social anxiety and phobia. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take between meetings.

Her method emphasizes collaboration. Clients and Stanton identify concrete goals and try approaches that fit day-to-day life. She uses clear explanations and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when needed.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of behaving. She guides skill practice for handling social situations and improving conversations. Work often includes experimenting with small changes and reviewing what helps.

Stanton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. She expects therapy to be active and goal-oriented while allowing for slower, reflective work when it’s useful. Practical problem solving is balanced with attention to emotional patterns.

People who want a steady, methodical approach to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or loneliness may find this style fits their needs. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking so they know how meetings are scheduled and delivered.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Alexandra Stanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioral work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests small changes in daily life. This helps with social anxiety, avoidance, and low mood by giving specific actions to try and review.

Another approach emphasizes cognitive strategies to recognize and reframe negative thoughts. This method teaches ways to notice self-critical thinking and replace it with more balanced perspectives, which can reduce worry and improve self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stanton will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and as tasks between sessions show what works best.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit meetings into workdays and family routines, reduce travel time, or select shorter check-ins when needed. Stanton aims to help clients integrate therapeutic work into everyday life through practical steps and regular review.
