About Alexandra
Alexandra Bastien is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She also helps people facing low self-esteem, career uncertainty, anger, grief, and major life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize thought patterns that increase anxiety or anger, and then practices new ways of responding.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on what is already working in a person’s life. Sessions are conversational and focused on skills you can use between meetings. Expect to talk about specific situations that cause distress and try simple exercises to change habits and reactions.
Work may include small behavioral experiments, communication practice, and steps to rebuild confidence. Bastien emphasizes collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps translate strengths into practical steps.
Many people find this process useful when navigating relationship strain, workplace stress, or parenting-related pressures. If you are coping with trauma, grief, ADHD-related challenges, or compassion fatigue, she brings steady guidance and concrete tools. Her background supports people through coaching-style work, career decisions, and emotional recovery.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. Online CBT typically includes talking through recent situations, practicing small behavior changes, and using homework between sessions to build new habits. It can help with anxiety, anger, depression, and stress.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and sets clear short-term goals. Online sessions using this approach focus on practical steps and quick wins you can try right away, which is useful for career decisions, relationship problems, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods to try. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared tools like worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep a running note of progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between sessions.
