About Alex Ribbentrop, LCSW
I founded Live Free Psychotherapy as way of offering specialized care to individuals, couples, and families. I focus on helping people navigate complex issues like trauma, family system dynamics, relationship and professional stressors, and mental health challenges. I am a licensed therapist in Virginia, Maryland, and Florida, with advanced training in EMDR and certification in the treatment of complex trauma.
My approach is trauma-informed, rooted in empathy, and dedicated to helping you discover meaning and purpose in your life.
Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, and supportive. If you are ready to start making meaningful change, I am here to walk with you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of therapy do you offer?
We specialize in existential and psychodynamic therapy, helping high-achieving individuals navigate:
- Perfectionism
- Questions of meaning and purpose
- Interpersonal and family system dynamics
- Burnout
- The pressures of leadership
- Wondering what comes after success or achieving their goals
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person Therapy?
Yes! Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and identity-related challenges. It also offers greater convenience, flexibility, and accessibility, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort of your space.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider, but we can provide superbills for potential reimbursement. We also accept HSA/FSA payments.
Why should I talk to a therapist instead of a friend?
While friends provide valuable support, a therapist offers professional, unbiased guidance rooted in evidence-based approaches. Therapy provides a safe, structured space to explore deeper issues, patterns, and emotional challenges that friends may not be equipped to address.
What should I expect from a free 15-minute consultation?
The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, learn about our therapeutic approach, and see if we’re the right fit for you. There’s no pressure—just a chance to explore your options.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple! Schedule a free consultation or call me directly at (561) 507-113 to discuss your goals and see if our approach is the right fit for you.
