Alexandra Pajak, LCSW

Alexandra Pajak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in Georgia. She combines a supportive stance with a direct therapeutic style, helping clients address difficult moments while building practical skills for everyday life.

Her primary approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods guide structured work on patterns of thinking, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, and they inform how she helps people manage anxiety, depression, and trauma-related challenges. Alexandra earned graduate degrees from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, and she draws on that training to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her clinical focus includes grief counseling, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. Alexandra works collaboratively with individuals and families to identify goals, develop coping strategies, and support lasting change. She welcomes new clients who are ready to take steps toward healing and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alexandra integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work, focusing on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, which emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills - tools that can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Mindfulness-informed strategies are woven into sessions to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alexandra collaborates with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods to fit what works best for the individual. That collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide an audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to support clients wherever they are located within the available service area.
