Alexis works collaboratively with clients to set practical goals and try small, doable changes.

Her approach centers on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps people notice unhelpful habits and beliefs, then tests new ways of coping. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, stress, and anger.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect a mix of listening, gentle challenges, and strategies they can practice between meetings. Alexis draws from client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral ideas, and meaning-based methods to tailor work to each person.

She also has experience with issues related to intimacy, relationships, parenting, grief, self-esteem, and career change. Additional focus areas include Veteran and Armed Forces Issues and sexual assault and abuse. Alexis aims to help people regain balance and move toward clearer next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that reflect those values. It teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's listening and support so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about their needs and goals and recommend methods that fit those priorities. The plan can change over time as work progresses and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since current formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep short check-ins during a break at work. It can also allow using worksheets, home practice, and in-session exercises that translate well to virtual meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to an online setting while helping clients stay focused on practical steps and daily routines.
