Trudy Alexander-Love, LPC

Trudy Alexander-Love is an LPC based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, life changes, and feelings of isolation. She frames therapy around each person's strengths and practical goals.

Trudy believes clients are the experts on their own stories. She listens first and follows the client's lead to set goals. Sessions focus on building skills that people can use between meetings, such as coping tools, clearer communication, and ways to manage worry.

Her approach mixes straightforward strategies with attention to the person's lived experience. Trudy uses client-centered work to understand what matters most. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and mindfulness to help ground people in the present.

Over 12 years of work as an LPC, she has helped people with relationship strain, blended family concerns, and the stress of major life transitions. She also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and issues common to first responders.

Trudy aims to support practical change while honoring personal values. She helps people identify small steps that fit into daily life and checks progress along the way. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Trudy uses client-centered work to learn what matters most to each person and to shape sessions around personal goals. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own agenda, which can make online sessions feel collaborative and relevant.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions and adapts well to remote sessions because exercises and homework can be tracked between appointments. Mindfulness techniques are another part of her approach and provide short, grounded practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness during daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Trudy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try methods that fit the situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what is not.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during a busy week. Online work also supports practicing skills in real-life settings and following up on homework between meetings.
