About Alexander

Alexander Regalado is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of professional experience. He is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW and also holds the CSW credential. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression in straightforward, respectful ways.

He talks with each person to understand what matters most to them. Conversations are shaped to match the client's needs and goals. He aims to be sensitive and compassionate while offering practical steps you can try between sessions.

In sessions he may draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses client-centered methods that let the person lead the pace and topics of discussion. Mindfulness and dialectical skills can be added to help with emotion regulation and staying present when feelings become intense.

Alexander has worked with a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy questions, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and addiction. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and guilt and shame. These are discussed openly so clients understand the plan for their work together.

He practices from New York and conducts sessions in English. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability, and he encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client wants to address. The therapist creates space for people to set the pace and topics while offering reflective feedback that helps clarify concerns and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In plain terms, CBT looks at patterns you can try changing with small homework tasks to test what helps reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It often includes exercises in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation you can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them when something isn’t fitting.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, let you join from different locations, and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
