Alexander Regalado, LCSW, CSW

Alexander Regalado is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of professional experience. He is licensed in Colorado and practices in New York as well. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and related struggles, and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and clear.

He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, not a fixed formula. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people clarify goals and next steps.

His approach draws from methods that help change thinking patterns and build new coping habits. He uses tools that teach skills for managing intense emotions and handling difficult situations. He also brings motivational techniques to help people find reasons to change and keep moving forward.

Alexander has worked with concerns such as intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries, codependency, dissociation, and substance use challenges. This range reflects an interest in both everyday habits and deeper relational patterns.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Alexander will work with each person to create a tailored plan and adjust it over time. He encourages small, doable steps so progress feels tangible and sustainable.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and goals around their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and daily habits. It breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It offers step-by-step techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and handling conflict.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in sessions when a full hour isn't possible, and let people fit therapy into a busy routine. It also supports using worksheets and between-session practice to build new habits without changing daily life.
