Alexandra Pajak, LCSW

Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice. She offers straight talk and steady support for people facing hard moments. Her style is practical and direct, with an emphasis on helping people build skills they can use right away.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as primary tools. Those approaches guide sessions toward changing unhelpful thoughts and learning coping skills. She also draws on Jungian and mindfulness ideas when they fit a person's goals.

People come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also works with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and challenges connected to ADHD and bipolar mood issues. Trauma and abuse is listed among her focus areas.

Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation, and kink-affirming work around BDSM and alternative sex culture. She also supports people coping after natural or human-caused disasters and those managing co-occurring conditions.

Sessions combine clear feedback, skill practice, and space to talk through painful experiences. Alexandra aims to help people set small, doable goals and build toward them. She works from Georgia and offers services in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors, and it often involves practical exercises and homework. DBT emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run hot.

She also draws on mindfulness and Jungian ideas when useful. Mindfulness helps people learn present-moment awareness and calm racing thoughts. Jungian perspectives can help those who want to explore deeper narratives, symbols, and personal meaning in life events.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process focused on what fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy day easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversation, skill practice, and at-home exercises that can be reviewed between meetings.
