Alex has been such a gift. She listens deeply, responds thoughtfully, and gently holds me accountable. She has a wide range of skills we use in session - EMDR, Grief Recovery, and others. I especially appreciate her ability to show me I'm making progress and to teach me to recognize that myself. She's also clear when I may need more specialized resources. As the cherry on top, when we have a light session, we have fun personal conversations like laundry advice!

More about Alexcis

  • LCSW, LICSW

Hi, I'm Alexcis! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people who long to feel stable and content. In working with clients I find that we all want to be physically, and emotionally healthy but hold ourselves back due to past and present difficulties. These barriers, keep us from moving forward and accomplishing our goals.

Living a life of values does not guarantee a stress-free easy life. It can however help get through the tough times by keeping us on track to accomplish our goals. Life is hard and full of stress. I believe that through self-compassion, values, mindfulness, and a desire for something better will lead to a meaningful life. Please message me so that we can get scheduled to start your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

I’ve only had a few sessions but I already feel pretty comfortable talking to her about stuff I don’t even like talking to myself about. I also feel like the tools I’m given are starting to help already. As well as always making time to talk about what is really bothering my at the moment.

Alexis is a wonderful counselor. I have made significant progress thanks to her help. She is a great listener and provides practical advice. It feels like working with a peer. I can’t recommend her highly enough. My finger slipped and I gave her a 9/10 but I wish I could have given a 11/10!
