About Alexandria
Alexandria Hagler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her focus also includes concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, midlife challenges, financial stress, and narcissism.
In sessions she uses clear, direct conversation to help clients name what feels heavy and why. She creates a setting where people can talk through their feelings and thoughts without worry about judgment. The work is practical: identifying patterns, trying different ways of responding, and noticing what changes when choices shift.
She often helps people untangle how past relationships or family expectations affect present choices. This can mean looking at attachment habits, how guilt and shame show up, or how control and avoidance were learned. The focus can move between skills for handling anxiety and deeper conversations about forgiveness and meaning.
Alexandria supports people who need help managing day-to-day coping as well as those facing bigger life transitions. Sessions aim to balance short-term coping tools with conversations that address longer-standing patterns. She guides each person toward clearer choices about relationships, work, and self-regard.
To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn what matters most to them.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many therapists who describe their work as evidence-based use approaches that combine skill-building with relationship-focused work. One common method teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts. These tools help when anxiety or guilt feels overwhelming and interferes with daily life.Another common approach centers on attachment and relational patterns. This involves looking at how early relationships shaped current expectations and reactions, and practicing new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. It can help when guilt, shame, or control issues trace back to past connections.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as the work proceeds.

Online sessions can be a practical way to fit therapy into a busy life - they can save travel time, make it easier to check in between commitments, or allow shorter focused sessions when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and conversations to an online setting to keep the work focused and usable.
