More about Alexis

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ( LMSW) and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC), who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I provide therapy to adolescents and adults by using an integrative approach to counseling that combines cognitive- behavioral and insight-oriented methods. While there are multiple styles of counseling, my belief is that everyone has an innate capacity to grow emotionally and psychologically towards the goals of self-actualization and personal fulfillment. My specialties include but are not limited to:depression, anxiety, addictions, problem solving skills, motivational skills, cognitive therapy, loneliness, and communication skills. Congratulations for considering counseling as a positive way to grow, change and heal. It is possible for you to grow. It will take time, effort and a willing heart.I encourage you to get the support you need and deserve to create a life of greater content and joy. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

And, while there can be value investing resources toward someone with receptive ears; when sitting on virtual therapy couch, I prefer clear feedback with actionable takeaways. Alexis excels in this arena. Alexis has the ability to digest, synthesize and respond with timely insights. As someone who has a tendency to spiral into tangents and detours, Alexis identifies when the ship is steering off course and deftly returns the talk to what matters most. After unexpected illnesses and deaths in the family, I felt unmoored and struggled to find focus and a real sense of purpose at home and work.

Big part of it is due to Alexis and how she guided me in clearing my confusing habits and knowing how to stand up for myself (which is great for everyone in the end). For example, she helped me navigate my relationship with my cofounders. My flip flopping mind and how I need to say yes when I want to say yes, and no/ I’m not ready to make decision at this moment — and say it and mean it. Alexis challenges me when I was gonna “go back” or “undo” my action that I meant from my heart, even if I felt ashamed afterwards.

Even though I only had one session with Alexis I left it feeling very encouraged and impacted. She is very quick to respond to texts in between sessions, and encourages to send voicenote, or journal entries. During our session i felt at ease and comfortable. She was patient and very helpful in asking the right questions in order to help me better communicate my needs. Her advice was sound and practical. An all in all A1 therapist :). She's amazing. Thank you Alexis for everything!

I had a great experience working with Alexis. I came in very anxious and a little lost and she was able to give me actionable steps to take (and test) to ease my anxiety. What I liked about working with her was that she asked from the beginning what I wanted to get out of the sessions with her and then adjusted her approach accordingly. My anxiety has eased greatly over the time working with her - and what I appreciate is that she set me up for future success.

I am thankful to have Alexis to talk to each week. She relates to her patients by meeting them where they’re at, as well as helpfully employing CBT. She feels like a safe place to unload and I always leave our chats feeling lighter and more hopeful. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.

This has been my first experience trying out any sort of therapy, and having Alexis as my counselor has made the experience all the more positive and comfortable. I've been working with Alexis for a month and working through some trying times, and she's been there for me through the ups and downs. With her, I feel safe, comfortable, and not embarrassed in expressing myself, venting, and processing what I'm going through. She also provides actionable techniques on working through emotions to ultimately heal that have been very helpful, and I couldn't have asked for a better counseling experience.
