About Alexandra
Alexandra Bastien is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with nine years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on clear, goal-oriented work and respects that each person knows their own story best. She speaks English and encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard.
In session she focuses on stress, anxiety, motivation, and low self-esteem. She also helps people who are navigating career challenges, life transitions, grief, and anger. Money and financial issues are listed among her additional areas of focus when they affect daily functioning and decision-making.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical steps toward reachable goals. Together these methods shape brief, structured conversations aimed at concrete change.
Alexandra frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify strengths and small shifts that lead to clearer choices and less overwhelm. Sessions are straightforward and focused on applying skills between meetings.
People who choose her often want tools they can use quickly for workplace stress, social anxiety, or caregiving strain. She offers support for trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, and compassion fatigue while keeping the work practical and paced to each person’s needs.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can try new responses and measure what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals, helping people build on what already works in their life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what matters most, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay aligned with the client's needs and preferences.
The main practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular meetings around work, caregiving, or commuting. If you want to confirm whether video, phone, or another option is available with this clinician, please check session formats before booking. Licensed professionals can still use CBT and Solution-Focused techniques effectively in remote sessions, focusing on homework, short skill-building exercises, and clear goal tracking to make progress between meetings.
