Alexandrea Long; Live Consciously, PLLC, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Austin TX
I work with adults navigating complex trauma, childhood wounds, religious trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, relational wounds, and disconnection from their own needs and emotions.
I also have a special heart for high-functioning career women, the ones who look like they have it all together on the outside, but internally feel exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how much longer they can keep carrying everything.
You may be the person everyone depends on: the one who performs well, handles business, keeps the peace, and makes it look easy. But beneath the success, there may be burnout, resentment, loneliness, or the quiet question of, “How did I build this life and still feel so far from myself?”
If that feels familiar, you are not broken. You may simply be living from patterns that once helped you survive but no longer help you feel whole.
My name is Alexandrea Long, LCSW-S, founder of Live Consciously, PLLC — trauma-informed therapist, intuitive healer, deep feeler, truth seeker, and someone who believes healing requires both science and soul.
I’m not your traditional therapist. My work lives at the intersection of clinical wisdom, nervous system healing, emotional awareness, spirituality, and deep self-return. I believe therapy should go beyond surface-level coping skills. While coping skills have their place, real healing asks us to look deeper, at the patterns, protective parts, beliefs, and survival strategies that formed long before we had the language to name them.
Many of the things we judge ourselves for today, people-pleasing, overthinking, perfectionism, self-abandonment, shutting down, staying busy, needing control, or struggling to rest, are often outdated survival skills. They were learned in environments where we had to adapt, perform, stay small, stay quiet, or be “good” in order to feel safe, loved, or accepted.
In our work together, we don’t approach those parts of you with shame, judgment, or labels. We approach them with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.
The Bigger Vision
Healing, to me, is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you were before the world taught you to abandon yourself.
This work is about building emotional awareness, self-trust, nervous system regulation, healthier boundaries, and a deeper connection to your authentic self. It is about learning how to stop performing wellness and actually feel safe enough to live in alignment.
You do not have to show up polished here. You can bring the grief, the questions, the anger, the doubt, the spiritual confusion, the overthinking, the exhaustion, and the parts of you that still do not know if healing is possible.
All of you is welcome.
