About Alexis
Alexis Johnson is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and move through tough changes. She uses straightforward, practical methods to address stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people build day-to-day coping skills.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Alexis listens first, then helps clients try small, doable steps that can change how they respond to stress and triggers.
Background and approach
Many people come for help with communication problems, relationship hurt, grief, sleep struggles, or career stress. She also supports those working through trauma and abuse, midlife transitions, and issues related to infidelity or forgiveness. Alexis pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts the plan as needed.
Her style combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. That mix helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and make choices that match their values. Sessions can include practical exercises, mood tracking, and step-by-step plans for change.
Alexis practices in Michigan and offers sessions in English. She aims to create a calm space where people can learn to manage anger, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of control during life’s difficult moments.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which often helps with stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will explore your goals, preferences, and daily routine, and together you will decide which methods to try first. She adjusts plans over time based on what is working and what needs a different tactic, keeping the focus on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat lets you send quick updates, and messaging supports ongoing coaching-style work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other responsibilities while using the approaches that best match your situation.
