About Alexandra Brink

Alexandra Brink brings a hopeful, steady presence to therapy and centers her work on helping people find direction during difficult seasons. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and earned her License in Professional Counseling (LPC) in 2014 - a state license that authorizes her to provide professional counseling services. Over a decade of practice has included an academic focus in Marriage and Family Studies and a career split between child-focused work and adult care.

During the earlier part of her career she worked with children who presented with mood, behavioral, or developmental challenges, applying behavior-based strategies when supporting parenting skills and working directly with young clients. In more recent years she has concentrated on treating adults, with particular attention to anxiety alongside concerns such as stress, relationships, parenting, family issues, anger, self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. Her clinical style for adults leans toward a person-centered, solution-focused approach while remaining flexible to draw from multiple counseling modalities to meet each person where they are.

She takes a holistic view of well-being, considering body, mind, and spiritual concerns as part of the therapeutic picture. Alexandra emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship - one built on comfort and genuine understanding - as the foundation for progress. She lives in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, works part-time while raising three children, enjoys painting, and has personal experience coping with chronic illness and grief, perspectives that inform her compassionate approach to care.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting environment where the person feels heard and understood - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and processing life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood concerns.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help clients set specific goals and identify practical steps forward, a helpful fit for people seeking relief from stress, parenting challenges, or transitions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Alexandra collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access regular support around work, family, or health responsibilities. These options allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and help maintain continuity of care when life gets unpredictable, while still centering a strong therapeutic relationship between the client and a licensed professional.
