Dr. Alexandria Arthur , LPCC, LPC

Dr. Alexandria Arthur is a licensed clinician in Virginia with a Doctoral Degree in Mental Health and 10 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses trauma, abuse, and issues tied to relationships and intimacy.

She uses clear, direct conversation to tailor an approach to each person. Sessions are guided by what the individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping them take steps toward change.

Dr. Arthur draws on therapies that look at emotions, patterns, and practical skills. That means talking through how past attachments shape current relationships, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practicing new ways to manage big feelings. These techniques can help with grief, addictions, body-image concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her practice also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, dissociation, control and communication problems, and separation or divorce. She pays attention to how life events and personality patterns influence daily coping and decision making.

When someone starts, she works collaboratively to set goals and pick steps that fit their life. Sessions can include short-term coaching or longer work on deep patterns, depending on what is helpful. The aim is to empower people to move toward more satisfying days and clearer relationships.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and patterns in close connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and how to build safer, more satisfying bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem, career doubts, or grieving losses.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to spot unhelpful patterns. It teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client’s needs. This may mean mixing approaches or starting with short-term skill work before addressing deeper patterns.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when scheduling a longer session is hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while exploring the approaches described above.
