Alexandra Faust, LPC

Alexandra Faust is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with over four years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence, and she has experience guiding clients through family conflicts and communication difficulties. Alexandra also works with individuals coping with control issues, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and mood-related concerns.

Her approach to therapy is warm, interactive, and collaborative. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment, and she tailors sessions to each person s goals. When appropriate, Alexandra incorporates familiar cultural items such as music, memes, social media, books, and apps to make therapy more relevant and engaging for clients.

Clinically, she draws from evidence-based methods including cognitive-behavioral therapy to explore links between thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques to set practical, achievable goals. As an LPC she provides professional counseling in Alabama and collaborates with clients to design a treatment plan that fits their needs and preferences.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Alexandra frequently uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing is another key approach she applies to help people strengthen their own motivation and commit to meaningful change.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques over time so the treatment plan feels well matched and achievable. Clients are encouraged to offer feedback so sessions remain relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules, eliminates travel time, and makes it easier to maintain consistent care. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured, evidence-based treatment in formats that fit each client s life and comfort level.
