01About Alexander
Alexander Sotirov greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients understand what is happening and to find manageable next steps. Alexander is an Illinois LCPC, and he draws on eight years of professional experience to guide sessions.
He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also helps with related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, and loneliness.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify problems and build practical skills that fit each person's life. Alexander adapts his approach to the person in front of him. He listens for what matters most, then shapes the conversation and plan to match those needs.
That might include learning ways to manage panic, practicing clearer communication, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels safe. He describes his work as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and a focus on realistic steps they can try between sessions.
The pace and tools change based on progress and feedback. For someone ready to begin, he asks clients to consider what outcome matters most to them. Together they set goals and revisit them regularly, adjusting the plan when life shifts or new issues appear.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Alexander uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical help and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - clients learn breathing and grounding tools, ways to manage panic, and steps to reduce avoidance. This helps people regain a sense of control in daily life.Another approach focuses on processing trauma and painful experiences at a steady pace. That work aims to reduce the power of traumatic memories and to rebuild a sense of safety and perspective. It often combines careful review of memories with new coping strategies to manage strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they choose methods, try them, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Depending on current offerings, clients may be able to schedule sessions more easily around work or caregiving, and to use shorter check-ins when that suits the moment. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking to make sure they match your needs.
