Trudy Alexander-Love , LPC

Trudy Alexander-Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on women’s issues alongside concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, grief, self-esteem, relationships, and coping with life changes. Trudy believes people hold the answers to their own stories and offers steady support while they find those answers.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens first and works from what each person already knows about themselves. Sessions are grounded in clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life. Trudy uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so people can try things between sessions.

Trudy draws on client-centered methods to build a trusting working relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and teach manageable skills. Mindfulness practices are offered for stress and grounding when the present moment feels overwhelming.

When trauma or painful life events are involved, she blends trauma-focused and solution-focused techniques to support safety and move toward practical change. The approach honors cultural and life-context factors, including issues around aging, blended family dynamics, and discrimination.

Trudy works with adults in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience front and center and helps build a trusting relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to set goals that feel relevant and doable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions often include homework exercises, thought records, and practical skill-building that clients can practice between virtual meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These practices can be guided during video calls or reinforced through short audio and text reminders between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to share their goals and preferences so therapy stays focused and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can fit quick updates, brief coping exercises, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily demands.
