Alexandra Brink, LPC

Alexandra Brink is a licensed professional counselor who brings a hopeful, practical approach to therapy. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and received her License in Professional Counseling (LPC) in 2014 - LPC denotes a licensed professional counselor who has completed graduate training and state licensure. With ten years of clinical experience, she has spent the early portion of her career working with children who have mood, behavior, or developmental disorders and the more recent years specializing in adult anxiety and related concerns.

Her work with families and parenting draws on behavior-based techniques that support skill building and practical change, while her work with adults leans toward a person-centered and solution-focused style that emphasizes collaboration and measurable progress. Alexandra integrates multiple counseling modalities as needed, aiming to tailor interventions to each person's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Practicing from a holistic perspective, she considers physical wellbeing, mental health, and spiritual concerns when appropriate, believing that attention to the whole person can strengthen therapeutic outcomes. She balances clinical practice with family life, living in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, raising three children and navigating long-term chronic illness herself. Her lived experience with grief, illness, and life change informs a compassionate stance toward clients facing similar challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Alexandra commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. This approach is helpful for people seeking understanding and support while working through life changes, grief, or self-esteem concerns.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress management because it emphasizes concrete tools and measurable progress.

Solution-focused therapy is another part of her practice, concentrating on strengths, small changes, and achievable goals to create forward movement when clients feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists.
