Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches, including Somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed methods, to match what feels most useful to each person. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative, with time spent on what matters most to the client.
In practice she helps people notice how emotions show up in their bodies, how patterns affect relationships, and how thoughts and behaviours can be shifted. The work can include gentle body-focused awareness, talking through relationship problems, and practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. Alejandra avoids technical jargon and keeps explanations simple.
She also supports people dealing with anger, commitment worries, codependency and issues around adoption and attachment. Additional areas she addresses include chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. Her approach adapts to the person's pace and priorities.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances empathy with clear steps to try between sessions. The focus is on small, manageable changes and on building skills that help in daily life.
How Alejandra combines body work and talking online
Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and how they link to emotions. It can help when stress, anger or past hurt shows up as tension, aches or a sense of being shut down. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and clarifies values to guide small, steady changes in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect trust, communication and intimacy.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alejandra works together with each person to decide which methods feel helpful. She will check in about goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and adapt the plan as work continues.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical benefits. Video and phone let people have a direct conversation from home, while chat and messaging can suit those who prefer brief, written exchanges or need flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still allowing a thoughtful, collaborative approach.
