Alexandra Degirolamo , LPC

Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. Alexandra aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her work centers on building a plan that fits a person's life. She tailors conversations and steps to match individual needs and goals. That can mean short-term strategies for coping or longer work on patterns that cause repeated struggles.

Alexandra helps people facing relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, or complicated issues like codependency and body image. Her practice includes help for substance use and eating and food-related issues.

Clients often bring concerns about self-esteem, motivation, anger, or career transitions. Alexandra also addresses ADHD-related struggles, impulsivity, hoarding, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She works with people experiencing bipolar mood challenges and those coping with life changes.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, outlines practical steps, and checks in on what is or is not working. People who want clear options and steady support may find her style helpful.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and real change. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses addictive behaviors and impulsivity by identifying triggers, creating safety plans, and practicing alternative routines to support lasting changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, needs, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients are collaborators in shaping their care.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and work more like in-person visits. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, moments when typing feels easier, or when you want flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity during life transitions.
