About Alessandra
Alessandra Baird is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between appointments. Alessandra works with individuals who want direct, compassionate guidance to change patterns that cause pain or conflict.
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally focused methods to create plans that fit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and breaking unhelpful thoughts. Alessandra also uses trauma-informed tools when past hurts are getting in the way. Her practice is shaped by 14 years of experience in varied clinical settings.
That background gives her exposure to depression, addictions, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and complex family dynamics. She prefers straightforward conversation and practical exercises over long academic explanations. Alessandra aims to understand each person’s perspective and to make clients feel heard.
She avoids mixing religious teaching into therapy and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds. If a different approach would be a better fit, she supports that choice without pressure. In sessions she prioritizes small, doable changes.
Clients can expect clear goals, home practice when helpful, and regular check-ins on progress. The focus is on helping people gain control of intense feelings and make steady improvements in daily life.

Approaches you can use online
Alessandra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try. That plan can change over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the work remains collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
