About Trudy
Trudy Alexander-Love is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, and major life changes. She works with concerns around self-esteem, relationships, depression, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Trudy emphasizes people’s strengths and supports them as they take steps toward change.
She uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Clients can expect a focus on practical skills and on what matters most to them. Trudy listens for each person’s goals and tailors the work to those priorities.
Her practice draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to address day-to-day struggles. She also brings Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods to help when people need short-term direction or support after difficult events.
With 12 years of experience, Trudy helps people identify patterns that get in the way and develop small, doable steps forward. She encourages self-reflection alongside action, so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
People often come for help with family-related problems like blended family tensions, divorce and separation, or communication breakdowns. Trudy also works with concerns tied to aging, first responder stress, multicultural issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Her approach aims to empower clients to use their own knowledge and strengths. The work is collaborative, practical, and paced to fit each person’s life and goals.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people gain clarity about their values and choices by centering conversations on what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and it can be useful for stress, depression, and relationship concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and grounding skills to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness. This can support coping with anxiety, grief, and reactions after difficult events.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help shape a plan that may combine methods. Clients and the therapist adjust the work together as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short or focused check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate different communication preferences, such as sessions that emphasize talking, skill practice, or brief homework between meetings.
