About Alexandra

Alexandra Tuck is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, goal-focused therapy. She draws on 11 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and effects of trauma and abuse. Alexandra meets each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She uses clear, straightforward discussion and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem. Work can include addressing intimacy concerns, grief, career stress, parenting pressures, or ADHD-related challenges. Alexandra draws from several therapeutic approaches to match the work to the person. She may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new responses. She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who are processing difficult memories. Clients can expect an encouraging, practical style. Alexandra helps set small, achievable goals and tracks progress together. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their lives and values. She is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW, and works in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to ease anxiety, low mood, and stress. EMDR is a structured process that can help when past events continue to cause distress by working with the memory and the body's reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face connection, while others prefer shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or background noise is a concern. Discussing practical scheduling needs is part of the initial matching and planning process.
