About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people facing family and parenting concerns. She is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience. Alexis focuses on clear steps parents and caregivers can use to manage stress, improve communication, and handle relationship changes.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve planning simple experiments and practicing new ways of talking at home. Alexis works with issues that commonly affect family life, such as parenting stress, grief, relationship challenges, and caregiver fatigue. She also addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Additional areas include fertility questions, immigration-related stress, and difficulties stemming from family of origin and separation. In sessions she aims to listen first, then offer tools that fit each person’s situation. That can mean problem-solving around routines, exploring how family patterns started, or rehearsing clearer communication.
She uses everyday language so parents can take steps between sessions. Alexis offers services as a California LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and conducts work in English. Her practice emphasizes practical changes and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about what matters most, and supports clients as they pick the next steps to try. This approach helps when someone needs steady support and space to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts that lead to stress and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress because it breaks problems into clear steps and homework that can be tried between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be guided collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients take an active role in choosing strategies that feel doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family routines, to check in between appointments, and to use tools in the moment when stress arises. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver goal-focused work and practical skills without requiring travel.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
