Alexandra Cario

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family challenges, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and difficulties with coping and emotional regulation. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community, as well. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand yourself and your patterns, and provide practical tools to support meaningful change.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, strengths-based, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients understand their thoughts and behaviors, build coping skills, navigate emotions and relationships, and work through difficult experiences. I believe therapy should provide both a safe space to process and practical tools you can use in everyday life, while always moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy and what you hope to change. We’ll discuss your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, and goals while beginning to identify what meaningful progress might look like for you. You don’t need to have everything figured out or share everything right away—we’ll build trust over time and work together at a pace that feels comfortable.
