About Alexis
Alexis uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to make changes but feel stuck, helping them find their own reasons to act.
Her work often addresses relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, fertility and fatherhood issues, and the grief that comes with loss and change. She also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence histories, immigration experiences, and work-related compassion fatigue. Alexis supports clients who are dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, and career uncertainty.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings. She helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and manage emotional overload. Progress is measured by what feels different in daily life rather than jargon.
Alexis practices in California and has six years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English and she brings attention to cultural background and family history when relevant.

How her approaches translate to online work
Alexis frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's pace and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood as they sort through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also central; it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Alexis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may try a few techniques and adjust the plan based on what is working and what is not.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use video or audio according to what feels manageable on a given day. Alexis will help tailor the approach to the practical realities of daily life and the specific issues a person brings.
