Alexandra Poolt, LCSW

Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and family concerns. Alexandra also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and social anxiety. She works in English and practices from Florida.

Alexandra uses a practical, straight-forward style in sessions. She helps people understand how their thoughts affect behavior and mood. She also pays attention to how the body and mind connect, and to what gets in the way of everyday coping. Sessions include setting small, achievable goals and practicing tools between meetings.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University and licensure as an LCSW in Florida. Over her career she has worked in varied settings and with many different life stressors. That background informs how she frames problems and suggests steps forward.

Alexandra aims to give people a clearer sense of control and hope. She often starts with a few concrete strategies for stress and anxiety. Then she and the client track how those strategies land and adjust them as needed.

She typically works by scheduling a mix of focused sessions and shorter check-ins. Response to messages is generally within 24 to 48 hours when used between sessions. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Alexandra uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist reflects what is important to the client and builds a plan around the client's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches specific skills to reduce anxious or low moods and to change patterns that cause trouble.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in and adapts tools as the client learns what helps in real life.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are set by the therapist. The profile mentions scheduled text, phone, or video sessions as ways she connects during the work week. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quicker check-ins, and let people practice skills between meetings without extra travel. The focus is on making sessions useful and manageable for everyday life.
