Alexandra Pajak

Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She encourages people who are dealing with hard moments to reach out and get support. Her style is both supportive and straightforward, aiming to make therapy practical and understandable for everyday life.

She mainly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people manage strong emotions and upsetting patterns. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. Alexandra also uses elements of Jungian work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's needs.

Alexandra has worked with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and personality challenges. She also supports those struggling with sleep, eating issues, parenting stress, anger, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is practical - she helps clients break problems into manageable steps and build tools they can use between meetings.

Clients can expect a direct but compassionate tone. The work often includes skill-building, tracking progress, and trying small experiments outside sessions. Alexandra draws on her training from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and her clinical background as an LCSW to keep therapy focused on real-life changes.

She sees clients based in Georgia and works in English. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to better handle intense feelings and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, daily life demands, and what methods feel most useful. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adapting it if something else would work better.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to fit home and work routines rather than promising particular outcomes.
