Getting to know Alexa Buford

My name is Alexa (Lex) Buford, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Palm Harbor, Florida, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of South Florida. I work with adolescents, teenagers, and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, and eating disorders. My approach to therapy is supportive and collaborative. My therapeutic approach varies depending on each client's needs. I frequently utilize Psychodynamic Therapy to help clients gain self-awareness and understand how their past impacts present behavior. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that cause problems and develop more helpful habits. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens and adults navigating difficult life transitions, daily stressors, social pressures, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. Many of my clients experience depression and anxiety. My communication style is warm, authentic, and compassionate. Clients can expect a judgment-free space to express anything on their mind. I want my clients to feel comfortable and valued. Goal setting is a collaborative effort. Our first session is an opportunity for you to share your story and develop goals for our work together.
