Background and approach

Her background includes work related to veteran and armed forces issues and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions emphasize identifying patterns that cause pain and trying concrete alternatives.

She encourages honest, straightforward conversation and helps people practice small changes between sessions. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to build collaboration so clients feel understood and also able to take action.

The goal is to reduce what gets in the way of daily functioning and to find practical ways forward. Alexis is based in Texas and holds LMFT credentials. She meets people where they are and supports them as they work toward clearer thinking, steadier mood, and healthier relationships.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new, healthier responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve closeness and safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis treats the choice of method as a collaborative discussion and will help figure out what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions match what the client needs that week.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility around busy schedules. These formats let people work on anxiety, mood, trauma recovery, and relationship concerns from home or another convenient place, while keeping regular contact and practicing skills between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
