Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and to build steady habits. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. This approach is conversational and goal-focused, useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Alexis works together with each person to choose which methods feel most helpful and to adapt them as goals shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions when face-to-face interaction helps, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving schedules.
