Background and approach
From there she helps people set small, doable goals and practice skills between sessions. Dr. Alexis draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods.
That mix supports work on thoughts, behavior, values, and patterns in relationships. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. She often helps clients facing trauma, addiction, ADHD challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.
Other areas she supports include eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, caregiver strain, and first responder issues. She also addresses body image, abandonment fears, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and take place with clients located in New York.
Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are available. Getting started involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments and small changes that reduce symptoms over time. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and connection that influence current relationships and self-image, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. That means adjusting techniques as progress is made and checking in about what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practicing new skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make regular work on goals more practical and consistent.
