Alexandra Brink , LPC

Alexandra Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area with ten years of clinical experience working with individuals, families, and caregivers. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and received her LPC in 2014. Over the course of her career she has combined formal training in marriage and family studies with hands-on work supporting children who have mood, behavior, or developmental concerns and later specializing in adult anxiety and related issues.

Alexandra applies a blend of person-centered and solution-focused practices while drawing from behaviorally oriented techniques when addressing parenting and child-focused needs. She takes a holistic view that considers body, mind, and spiritual concerns and aims to balance physical and mental health in treatment. Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, parenting difficulties, anger, self-esteem, life transitions, and perinatal mood concerns, as well as support for caregivers and families affected by intellectual disability or autism.

Outside of her clinical work Alexandra manages a part-time schedule while raising three children and brings lived experience of chronic illness and major life changes to her therapeutic perspective. She emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress and adapts widely used counseling modalities to meet each person where they are and support practical steps forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Alexandra Brink

Alexandra Brink integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, creating a supportive environment where the person’s experience guides the pace and priorities of treatment. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, validation, and a collaborative space to explore goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - a practical method often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy is included when appropriate to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what is most effective for the client.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making care more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy routines, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from home or another convenient location while working with a licensed professional.
