Alexandra Gulbis, LCSW, LICSW, ABS
California-based Virtual Therapist in California, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, and Vermont specializing in tailored, boutique care for discerning clients seeking depth-oriented work around anxiety, relationships, and life outside the default path
Hello, nice to meet you.
I’m Alexandra Gulbis, LCSW, LICSW—a licensed clinical social worker, certified sexologist (American Board of Sexology), published author of three books about boundaries, emotional depth, identity, and personal change.
This is depth-oriented work. Not surface-level coping, not one-size-fits-all solutions.
My clinical background includes trauma therapy, EMDR, and advanced training across existential, humanistic, and transpersonal approaches, along with doctoral-level education in these areas.
But therapy with me isn’t just theoretical.
I’ve raced motorcycles. Survived bone cancer. Rebuilt my life more than once. I understand, on a lived level, what it means to adapt, to start over, and to question the path you’re on.
Therapy for the driven, the disillusioned, and the ready.
🌈 Healing That Honors Your Complexity
You’re not a template—and your healing shouldn’t be either. Our work is highly personalized, designed to evolve with you. Whether you’re unraveling burnout, integrating powerful experiences, or rebuilding from an invisible breaking point, this is where the real work begins—with nuance, depth, and intention.
🌟 A Rare Mix of Clinical + Creative
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a foundation in trauma therapy, EMDR, and integration of altered states of consciousness—including psychedelic experiences and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My lived experience spans music production, existential deep-dives, and navigating life’s most disorienting pivot points. Translation? I’m fluent in both the language of the soul and the strategies that help you move forward.
🎭 Sharp Insight, Disarming Humor
We’ll go deep—but we won’t drown. This space holds grief, rage, brilliance, and absurdity—all with room to exhale. Expect thoughtful challenge, irreverent humor, and the occasional metaphor that makes you laugh and want to change your whole life.
👑 Luxury Meets Liberation
This isn’t just healing—it’s expansion.
It’s creating a life that feels aligned, deeply nourishing, and unapologetically yours. Here, luxury means space. Autonomy. Clarity. Richness measured not in square footage or status—but in the kind of peace you can actually feel in your bones.
What Makes This Practice Different?
🧵 Tailored, Responsive Therapy
This isn’t a system you fit into. It’s a process we shape together, designed to hold your brilliance, your blind spots, and everything in between.
🔮 Deep Tools for Deeper Living
Narrative reframing. Integration of expanded states. Clinically grounded practices like EMDR. These aren’t passing trends—they’re carefully chosen methods that support deep insight, release what no longer serves you, and help you step into a life that feels both true and beautifully your own.
💬 Therapy That Feels Real
I’m not here to sit back while you do all the work. I show up—fully, with clarity and compassion. I’ll reflect what’s hard to see, hold what you’ve carried alone, and when challenge is needed, I offer it with gentle poise—never force, always intention with discernment. And when you forget who you are, I’ll help you find your way back.
🖤 A Safe Place for Your Full Self
This is a space for the complicated, the contradictory, and the not-yet-articulated. You don’t have to have it all figured out to belong here. You just have to be willing to consider something new—even if you’re not quite ready to leap.
Let’s Get Started
Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating, and it definitely doesn’t have to be boring. Whether you’re here because you’re at your breaking point, or you’re just curious about what growth could look like, let’s talk.

When I’m not helping people navigate the twists and turns of their inner worlds, I’m out living my own life with a mix of adventure and artistry. My Shiba Inu, Kami, is my partner in crime—equal parts cuddly and cunning, she keeps me on my toes and reminds me that life’s better when you don’t take it too seriously.
Out on the water, you’ll find me yachting, soaking in the stillness of the sea—or the thrill of the waves—because nothing clears my head like the open horizon. When I visit home in my native Florida, I swap the deck for the depths, scuba diving to explore the vibrant underwater world that feels like its own form of meditation.
Music is another big part of my world. I love composing, recording, and getting lost in the magic of sound production. There’s something incredible about turning a raw idea into something tangible, emotional, and uniquely yours. I periodically release original compositions on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming services.
Fashion is another form of self-expression—it’s not just about clothes, it’s about creating a mood, telling a story, and feeling amazing while doing it. And then there’s my love for motorcycles. Few things compare to the rush of freedom I feel carving through a winding road on two wheels. Whether it’s chasing inspiration, speed, or the thrill of being alive, I’m always finding new ways to keep life dynamic and unapologetically mine.
