Alexandra Pajak

Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people through hard periods. She welcomes frank conversation and practical steps. Her approach is both supportive and direct, and she draws on several therapy methods to shape sessions.

She trained at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and holds the LCSW credential. Alexandra commonly addresses anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and personality concerns. She also works with issues like eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, relationship strain, and coping with major life changes.

In sessions she uses clear, skill-based work alongside reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help clients be more aware of the present moment and their responses.

She also brings elements of Jungian ideas and motivational interviewing when those perspectives fit a person’s goals. That can mean looking at meaningful patterns in life or finding practical motivation to make changes. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on and on small steps that can be tried between meetings.

Alexandra practices from Georgia and conducts work in English. People who choose her can expect a straightforward, collaborative tone and concrete tools alongside space to talk through loss, stress, or change.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Alexandra uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense feelings or reactive behavior. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief practices that build attention and awareness, helping people notice triggers and choose responses rather than acting automatically.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try techniques that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can bring CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness exercises into remote sessions to practice between meetings and track progress over time.
