About Alexander
Alexander Sotirov is a licensed clinical professional counselor with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He communicates in plain, direct language and aims to make first steps easier for people who feel overwhelmed.
He treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are adapted to the needs and pace of the individual.
Background and approach
Alexander says he will tailor conversations and any treatment plan to the client’s unique situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. In practice he listens for patterns that keep people stuck, and then helps them try practical ways to change those patterns. That can include working on communication skills, managing strong emotions, and coping strategies for anxiety and panic.
He helps people sort through painful experiences such as trauma and past abuse in ways that feel manageable. He also supports people dealing with issues that often accompany mental health concerns, such as body image, chronic illness or pain, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. The work often blends short-term coping tools with longer conversations about underlying problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian and Alexander is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC. He accepts international clients. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your needs.

Approaches and online care that focus on emotion and coping
Alexander describes his work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target emotion regulation and coping. For example, one common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions like anger and panic by teaching step-by-step strategies for calming the body and changing unhelpful reactions. Another approach focuses on processing painful events such as trauma and abuse by moving at a pace that the person can handle while building new ways to make sense of those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel in practice, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single path from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing travel time, allowing appointments during work breaks, or offering shorter check-in sessions when needed. It also lets people connect from different regions, which is helpful since he accepts international clients. Ask about the session types and scheduling that will best fit your routine.
