About Avery
Avery Alexander is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with five years of practice experience. She began her path volunteering with community organizations and mentoring in community centers, and that community focus still shapes how she works today. Avery keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
She listens first, then helps people break down problems into small, manageable steps. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, anger, depression, sleep trouble, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She uses tools drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice reactive patterns, practice new skills, and try simple changes between meetings. The goal is better daily coping and clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Avery has experience supporting people with addictions, ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and identity-related concerns for LGBT clients. She also works with issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems, and smoking or vaping cessation. People who reach out can expect a warm, down-to-earth approach and a focus on practical strategies.
She aims to help each person build tools that fit their life and values, and to create a steady space for change.

Approaches for online work and practical skills
Avery often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or anger. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for reducing reactivity in heated moments.She also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and tailoring plans to each person's needs. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with the person to decide which approaches match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for deeper conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text can provide brief check-ins, skill reminders, or shorter coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue progress even when in-person visits are difficult.
