About Alexandra

Dr. Alexandra Branagan is a Colorado-based clinical health psychologist with 12 years of experience. She works with adults at many life stages and supports people facing health concerns, major life changes, and relationship or intimacy questions. She also helps with sleep problems, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and issues around parenting and fertility. Dr. Branagan holds the credential CO Psychologist PSY.0005152 and practices in Colorado. Her background includes long experience working with people dealing with medical challenges and neurodevelopmental differences. She has worked with those adjusting to parenthood and with people managing caregiver stress. She also supports people handling grief, career transitions, and the stresses of discrimination and multicultural concerns. In sessions she aims to build a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. She focuses on collaboration, listening first, and then tailoring a plan to each person’s needs. That plan may address sleep routines, relationship communication, coping with change, or strategies for managing attention and mood. Her work with self-esteem and related concerns blends practical steps with coaching-style guidance when helpful. She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and notice small changes that add up over time. People who choose her often want straightforward, compassionate help during transitions or health challenges. To begin, she asks about current concerns and then forms a plan together that fits the person’s life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Dr. Branagan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavior-focused work where people try new routines and habits to improve sleep, mood, or daily functioning; this helps with sleep problems, stress, and attention difficulties. Another approach centers on problem-solving and skills practice to manage life transitions, caregiver strain, or relationship and communication challenges; it emphasizes concrete steps and small experiments to test what helps. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick or adapt methods so they fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit visits into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people keep continuity of care during life changes, and enables work on practical skills in real time around daily routines.
