About Alejandra

Alejandra Marquez Mosquera is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who moved from Colombia and Argentina to continue her clinical training in the United States. She combined a bachelor's degree in psychology with work in occupational and organizational psychology, then pursued a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She now practices in Florida and conducts therapy in both English and Spanish.

Her sessions are grounded in Gestalt therapy principles and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She encourages people to notice how past and childhood events shape current feelings and behavior. The focus is on building self-awareness and practical ways to respond differently in stressful or painful moments.

Alejandra aims to create a calm, respectful space for honest conversation. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, and helps clients name what they are feeling and why. Work can include talking through relationship concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.

She also helps people facing complex issues such as caregiving strain, chronic health concerns, body image, and attachment-related worries. Her background includes several years practicing as a psychotherapist using Gestalt approaches, followed by clinical counseling training in the United States.

Therapy with her is presented as a collaborative process. Clients complete a short matching questionnaire to start, and scheduling is set according to therapist availability in Florida. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Step 3

How Gestalt and evidence-based techniques work online

Gestalt-informed work focuses on present-moment awareness and how thoughts, sensations, and actions connect. In sessions clients are invited to notice bodily feelings and immediate reactions, which can reveal patterns that affect relationships and mood. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and recurring interpersonal problems.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques complement that work by offering concrete tools for managing symptoms. These might include behavior-focused strategies to reduce anxiety or simple exercises to shift negative thinking. Such techniques aim to give practical skills people can use between sessions to cope with stress and depression.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made so the work matches changing needs.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and help people keep continuity of care when life is hectic. It also allows sessions to be shorter check-ins or fuller weekly appointments depending on what fits someone’s schedule.
