About Alexander
Alexander Regalado is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. He is licensed in Colorado and practices from New York. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Regalado focuses on straightforward conversation and practical problem solving. He uses clear, direct questions to help clients identify what’s getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions look at habits, thoughts, and behaviors that keep problems active, and then map small, doable changes.
He draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize the person’s goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new approaches. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices can be introduced for managing intense emotions and improving focus.
Work often includes support around relationships, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT issues. He also addresses sleep problems, career pressures, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Addiction-related work covers drug and alcohol concerns and motivational interviewing is used to strengthen readiness for change.
Sessions are practical and paced to everyday life. The emphasis is on steps clients can try between meetings and checking what helps. To begin, the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling flow are used to set a first session and start planning care.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions support work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and shapes discussion around what the client says matters most. This approach helps people clarify priorities and decide what to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness skills teach ways to regulate strong emotions and stay present. These techniques include grounding, distress-tolerance strategies, and focused attention practices that people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences, and what proves most useful in practice. That decision is revisited as progress or new issues arise.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems occur and then bring results back into the next meeting.
