Alexandrea Turner, LMFT

Alexandrea Turner is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a master’s degree in counseling and eight years of clinical experience. She enjoys working with teenagers most but supports a wide range of clients across ages and life situations. Her practice addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and self-esteem concerns, with additional focus on family and communication problems, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, and issues common to young adults.

Turner approaches therapy from a collaborative stance, recognizing that each person knows their life best and bringing her training and experience to help identify meaningful paths forward. To deepen the therapeutic work she frequently integrates EMDR therapy and art and sand therapy techniques when appropriate, offering both verbal and creative ways to explore difficult memories and emotions. She strives to create a calm, welcoming environment where honesty is encouraged and gentle challenge supports growth. Humor is used thoughtfully in session when it helps, and her aim is for clients to leave feeling validated, empowered, and prepared to take next steps in their mental health journey.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Alexandrea Turner commonly draws on EMDR therapy and art and sand therapy techniques as part of her practice. EMDR therapy is a structured approach that supports people in processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, often used when trauma or overwhelming experiences are present. Art and sand therapy provide nonverbal ways to explore feelings and personal stories through creative expression, which can be especially useful when words are hard to find or when exploring family and developmental themes.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Turner works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time to find what fits best. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care and confident that the approach is tailored to them.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, and select the session type that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic journey.
