Alexandria Luey-Gomez , LCSW

Alexandria Luey-Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of practice in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, or the fallout of trauma and abuse. Her work also includes support for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting stress, and challenges related to identity and LGBT issues.

She keeps sessions warm and collaborative. She listens closely and helps people name what is happening in their lives. The goal is to restore a sense of control and move toward practical steps that feel doable.

Her approach draws from several techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-based work, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Those tools are used to help process painful memories, change unhelpful thought patterns, and build coping skills for intense emotions.

Sessions are paced to each person. She works alongside clients to set clear, realistic goals and to practice skills between meetings. The emphasis is on small changes that add up and on reconnecting with strengths people already have.

People often seek her help for specific issues like addiction, anger, or immigration-related stress, and for broader life transitions. She uses straightforward language, steady support, and an affirming stance to help people move forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take steps that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional impact in people who have experienced trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed on a break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or have shorter check-ins without scheduling a full call. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy days while working with licensed professionals.
