Alexandra Gkounti

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“A Licensed Mental Health Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, working with people who face a wide range of emotional, social and mental health issues.”

About Me

This counsellor supports individuals facing a wide range of emotional, social, and mental health issues. As a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, they help people understand thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies. They offer a grounded space to explore feelings, helping clients gain clarity. This approach is well-suited for those seeking actionable tools and a clear path forward.

Approach

Sessions move between focused skill-building and gentle exploration of the thoughts and reactions that shape daily life. In Athens or online, in English or Greek, I keep sessions practical and paced to your needs, with short, achievable experiments between meetings so change feels manageable. We track patterns together, translate learning into real situations, and adjust tools as you notice what helps. People navigating transitions, anxiety, or burnout often find this steady, action-minded rhythm helpful.
