About Alessandra
Alessandra Baird is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Utah who helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship struggles. She approaches sessions with warmth and directness so clients can get clear, practical help. Alessandra speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel understandable and doable for worried parents and busy adults.
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Alessandra lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, among the approaches she uses for trauma work. Alessandra tailors the work to each person rather than relying on a single method.
She blends strategies to fit real life situations like parenting stress, blended family issues, communication problems, grief, and mood concerns. She avoids mixing religion into therapy and is open and nonjudgmental about different backgrounds and beliefs.
Over her 14 years of practice she has worked in a range of settings and with many common life problems such as depression, loneliness, addiction concerns, and family of origin issues. Her style is empathetic but straightforward so clients can move from talking to practical steps. People who prefer a collaborative, skills-focused approach often find her helpful.
Alessandra encourages questions, and she supports clients in choosing the path that fits them best.

Online support
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Alessandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and to practice different behaviors that can change how they feel. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings are needed, teaching skills for distress tolerance and clearer communication. For trauma-related memories she includes EMDR as one of the approaches she may use to process distressing experiences and reduce their hold on daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alessandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That conversation helps decide whether to focus on skills training, emotion-focused work, trauma processing, or a mix of those elements.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper exchanges, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is a barrier, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage appointments around childcare or work, and continue progress without travel.
