About Curllin

Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York psychologist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and midlife changes. She earned her NY Psychologist credential (NY Psychologist 025059) and has six years of clinical experience. Her approach is steady and personal, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.

Dr. Alexis centers sessions on what feels most pressing for each person. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then works with clients on small experiments and skills to try between meetings. The goal is clearer choices, less overwhelm, and better day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes work with people struggling with self-esteem, career shifts, sleep and eating concerns, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and issues that can arise around caregiving, divorce, or immigration.

In session Dr. Alexis draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts those ideas to each person’s goals and comfort level, keeping plans realistic and measurable.

People who tend to want structured skills and a collaborative planning style often find her practical. She supports clients through life transitions, career reorientation, and the emotional fallout of loss or relationship ruptures.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and many daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That may mean blending ACT and CBT techniques, or adding attachment-focused conversation when relationship patterns are central.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can make it simpler to keep regular appointments during busy weeks. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or more flexible timing around work or caregiving responsibilities. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they fit your routine.
