About Alexis
Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies and other therapeutic orientations chosen to meet each person where they are. She emphasizes exploring the thoughts and behaviors that may interfere with wellbeing while helping clients build skills for coping, self-compassion, and healthier relationships. Alexis has particular passion for supporting women of color, specifically Black women, and she welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds who are seeking thoughtful, culturally attuned care.
Outside of her professional role she is a mother, wife, and family member who enjoys travel, interior design, and true crime and comedy shows. She describes herself as easygoing, motivated, and committed to collaboration with clients as they work toward clearer goals and more satisfying daily experiences. She is available Tuesday and Friday mornings only at this time for live chat sessions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Alexis draws on several established approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and shifting behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods over time to find the best fit for growth and relief.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls and phone sessions replicate traditional conversations while live chat and text-based messaging add flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
