Alessandra Baird, LMFT

Alessandra Baird is a Marriage and Family Therapist in Utah who brings a warm, compassionate, and straightforward approach to clinical work. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) she is trained to help individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional and relational challenges using evidence-based techniques. Her style balances empathy with clear, goal-oriented guidance, making space for understanding while keeping treatment focused and practical.

She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, and she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma. Alessandra tailors interventions to each person - drawing from different modalities as needed - rather than applying a single approach to every situation. That flexibility stems from experience across multiple clinical settings, which has shaped her work with depression, anxiety, loneliness, stress-related issues, mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, and decision-making concerns.

One of her core strengths is the ability to empathize deeply and accurately sense how others are feeling, which helps people feel understood and supported during treatment. She intentionally keeps religion separate from research-based therapy and notes that she may not be the best match for those seeking faith-focused counseling. Alessandra presents herself as open-minded and nonjudgmental, welcomes questions about her approach, and respects when someone needs to try a different therapist. She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and working collaboratively toward their goals.
