About Alexis
Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She helps clients who are coping with trauma, relationship and parenting challenges, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Alexis uses clear, practical steps so people can begin to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She blends straightforward skills practice with talk therapy. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful habits, testing new ways of responding, and building tools that fit each person’s routine.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors and uses acceptance-based skills to help people tolerate hard feelings while moving toward valued goals. Alexis brings ten years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. Her background includes work across mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns.
She aims to make therapy feel collaborative and practical rather than vague or overwhelming. Clients can expect a warm, easygoing presence in sessions. Alexis emphasizes clear goals, homework that feels doable, and step-by-step progress rather than quick fixes.
Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and comfort level. Outside of clinical work she is a mother and enjoys travel, interior design, and watching murder mysteries and comedies. That personal perspective shows up in a conversational style that balances real-life concerns with therapeutic structure.

How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and move toward what matters in life. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and adjusting to life changes by clarifying values and guiding small committed actions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing panic, depression, obsessive thoughts, and day-to-day stress through structured exercises and skill practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as new challenges emerge and progress is tracked together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get support without scheduling a live call. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
