Alessandra Baird , LMFT

Alessandra Baird is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 14 years of clinical experience. She blends a warm, compassionate manner with a direct, goal-oriented style to help people move forward from difficult moments and patterns.

Her clinical toolkit centers on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and solution-focused techniques. Alessandra tailors treatment to each person, drawing from multiple modalities to meet the specific needs of individuals, couples, and families.

Across diverse settings she has worked with presentations including depression, anxiety, stress-related concerns, mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, addiction, grief, and adjustment to life changes. She additionally focuses on blended family dynamics, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, isolation and loneliness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder.

Known for strong empathic perspective-taking, Alessandra strives to understand how clients experience their difficulties so they feel supported rather than alone. She does not mix religion with research-based treatment and would not be a fit for those seeking faith-led therapy. Alessandra describes herself as open-minded and nonjudgmental, and she encourages questions about fit and approach without pressure to continue if another therapist would be a better match. At this time she is not accepting clients.
