Alexandra Lopez de Haro is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience in Hawaii. She focuses on eating and food-related issues alongside trauma, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and supports people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Her approach centers on clear, practical steps that help clients feel steadier day to day. Sessions often include working on coping skills, improving self-talk, and building routines that support emotional and behavioral change. She aims to help people process painful memories, manage overwhelming emotions, and find ways to move forward after setbacks. Alexandra pays attention to how identity and culture shape each person's struggles. She helps clients sort through attachment patterns, codependency, and communication problems that affect relationships. She also offers support around body image, guilt and shame, and issues tied to immigration and cultural adjustment. Clients can expect collaborative work that highlights strengths and small, achievable goals. The therapy process may include practicing new ways of reacting to triggers, learning calming techniques, and addressing control or impulsivity concerns. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes long-term clinical work with diverse populations in Hawaii and familiarity with trauma recovery and mood concerns. Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates mindfulness-based practices to help people regulate emotions and increase self-awareness.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mindfulness-based practices to guide sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with mood, body image, and eating-related patterns. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That process may involve trying a few methods and adjusting based on what helps most. The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during moves or travel and may reduce the time needed for appointments. If you want to pursue sessions remotely, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
