Alexandra Lopez, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alexandra!

I'm here to support you in making this journey truly valuable. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with adults and young adults who are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a client-centered framework, meaning I prioritize your experiences, values, and goals throughout our work together. Drawing from dialectical behavior therapy, I incorporate practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental space. Through active listening, I offer you the opportunity to reflect on your experiences with a thoughtful and empathetic partner by your side. When we're working through something difficult, you can expect me to show up with calm, patience, and steady support.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I'm honored to support clients on their unique paths toward greater self-understanding.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify and set goals that are meaningful to you—whether that's improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing another personal priority. As you gain new insights, your goals may evolve, and we'll adapt our approach to ensure it continues to support what matters most to you.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about your background and what has brought you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous before your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to support and guide you through each part of the journey.
