About Alexis

She works with people facing grief, career and sleep problems, intimacy-related concerns, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking more than theory.
Alexis uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports change when substance use or other habits are involved.
In session Alexis listens for what matters most to each person and helps build small, doable steps. Conversations may include practicing new ways of talking in social situations, setting limits, or rehearsing conversations that feel hard. She also works on sleep routines, coping during divorce or separation, and rebuilding trust after infidelity.
Her background includes long-term work with people navigating trauma and veteran-related issues, along with coaching around career shifts and midlife concerns. She aims to translate evidence-based approaches into plain-language tools people can use between sessions.
Alexis provides services from her Michigan practice and conducts sessions in English. She does not take international clients. Before booking, people are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How Alexis blends approaches for online work
Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experience, which helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and practicing actions that align with those values, which can be useful for people facing avoidance or fear in social situations.She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients choose which methods to try based on their goals and daily life. Early sessions often involve checking what feels most pressing, then agreeing on small experiments or exercises to practice between meetings. That collaborative selection is part of the clinical process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. Clients often find it simpler to practice real-world skills between sessions and bring those experiences back for review and adjustment.
