With ten years of experience and an LMHC credential, Alexis brings steady clinical experience to sessions.
She previously practiced in Florida and now lists New York as her location. Her background includes working with multicultural concerns and issues that come from family of origin and caregiver stress. Practical concerns are part of the work.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control action. It emphasizes choosing values and taking small steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on approach that looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and to build more effective habits for issues like panic, obsessive behaviors, and mood problems.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. That style helps when people need space to process emotions, work through grief, or talk about identity and multicultural concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over time techniques can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls work well for full conversations and emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick support, Skill reminders, or when it helps to write out thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
