About Alexander
Alexander Pitaluga is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 25 years of experience. He works in both English and Spanish and helps adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and issues related to LGBT identity. He focuses on practical coping skills and clearer understanding of feelings and behavior.
Alexander uses several evidence-based methods and adapts his work to each person. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. He helps people talk through what’s happening now, develop ways to manage strong emotions, and plan small steps forward.
His background includes long-term work with people facing complex life circumstances. That experience informs how he approaches grief, trauma, and substance concerns. He also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, immigration concerns, and multicultural contexts.
He brings an attention to identity-related experiences such as gender dysphoria, sexuality, and LGBT-related stress. He also works with people dealing with codependency, social anxiety, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns.
Practical problem solving and skills practice are part of sessions when useful. He aims to help people reduce distress and gain clearer options for daily life. People interested in working in either English or Spanish can start by using the site's matching and scheduling flow.
BHow sessions work
Approach and remote treatment style
Alexander describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Psychodynamic work helps people understand patterns from past experiences that affect current feelings and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavioral methods teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice is revisited over time as needs and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins, use of audio-only when bandwidth is limited, and easier access when juggling appointments. Licensed professionals can help adapt the format and pacing so therapy fits practical life demands without adding extra burden.
