About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with six years of professional experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and stress from life changes. Alexis often addresses parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.
Her work favors clear, practical steps and honest conversation. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small, achievable actions to try between meetings. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Alexis also uses client-centered methods that let a person lead the pace and content of sessions. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone feels stuck and wants help deciding next steps. Narrative therapy can help people reframe difficult experiences and reclaim their personal story.
She brings attention to family dynamics, communication problems, and issues that come up with fertility, immigration, or separation. Alexis has worked with concerns like compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, infidelity, and forgiveness in the context of broader emotional strain.
In practical terms she helps people build better communication, set boundaries, and improve self-esteem. The emphasis is on skills that can be practiced in daily life and checked on in the next session. Alexis aims for straightforward, respectful collaboration rather than long theoretical explanations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, offering room to bring up what matters most and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves noticing thought and behavior patterns, trying small experiments, and reviewing results to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Motivational interviewing helps clarify a person’s own reasons for change and supports step-by-step movement toward those goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and help decide what fits a person's needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clearer.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists use practical tools like worksheet work, behavioral experiments to try between sessions, and conversational techniques that can be done by voice or video depending on the chosen format.
