About Alexandra
Dr. Alexandra Branagan is a Colorado psychologist with 12 years of professional experience. She practices as a Colorado Psychologist, licensure recorded as CO Psychologist PSY.0005152.
Her work focuses on practical goals and everyday changes that make life easier for people facing stress, sleep struggles, mood problems, or ADHD concerns. She helps people adapt to big life changes like becoming a parent, dealing with fertility and pregnancy-related stress, or adjusting after illness.
Background and approach
She also supports people wrestling with intimacy and sexuality questions, career stress, grief, and challenges tied to caregiving. Her background includes work with neurologic and developmental differences and long-term health issues. In sessions she aims for a warm, accepting tone that encourages honest conversation.
Meetings are collaborative: she listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits the person’s goals and day-to-day routines. Practical strategies and real-world problem solving are a common focus in her work. Her approach recognizes the overlap between mental and physical health.
That means treatment plans may include attention to sleep, daily structure, routines, and stress responses alongside emotional processing. She also attends to identity-related stress and experiences of discrimination when they are relevant. Dr.
Branagan offers several remote session formats to match different needs. She uses a short matching questionnaire to get started, then helps people schedule sessions that fit their life and pace.
Approaches for ADHD and Everyday Challenges Online
Dr. Branagan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and habit changes. One common approach emphasizes building daily routines and sleep habits to reduce stress and improve focus; this method breaks larger goals into small, doable steps and uses practical scheduling tools that suit busy lives.Another approach centers on coping skills for mood and anxiety. It teaches ways to notice stress responses, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice brief behavioral changes that ease overwhelm. These methods are useful for people managing ADHD, grief, caregiving strain, or major life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to pick or adapt techniques based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond to early sessions. Plans are revised together as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill coaching and feedback. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and fit into a work break or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or try short coaching-style exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and health obligations.
