Alexandra McKay, LMFT

Alexandra McKay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New Jersey with three years of professional experience.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward change.

Evidence-Based Care for Relationships and Trauma Online

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to relationship and trauma work. She applies a trauma-informed perspective that helps clients process difficult experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and build coping strategies to manage the ongoing effects of past harm. She also employs skills-focused interventions for stress and anxiety that teach practical tools for managing worry, improving emotional regulation, and addressing compulsive patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Alexandra approaches this collaboratively. She works with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and strengths, and adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and can reduce barriers related to travel or timing. Working remotely allows clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals while maintaining routines and responsibilities, and Alexandra helps clients choose the session format that best suits their situation.
