About Alexis
Alexis Putnam is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Alexis focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage symptoms and feel more in control.
She uses clear, ordinary language in sessions and offers straightforward strategies clients can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are among the approaches she draws on to help with anxious thoughts and difficult memories. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when the priority is setting small, achievable goals.
Alexis adapts conversations and plans to address what matters most to each person. She helps people identify patterns, test small changes, and track progress. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused approaches that attend to safety and pacing.
People often come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias, or feelings of isolation. She also supports questions about gender, sexuality, fertility, body image, blended family issues, and life purpose. Sessions are practical and focused on skill-building as well as understanding patterns.
Her practice aims to be direct and respectful. New clients complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin setting goals and steps forward.
How Alexis uses evidence-based approaches online
Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and improve awareness of thoughts and sensations.She also uses Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods when people want short-term goal setting and clearer steps forward. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify values and build internal motivation, while solution-focused work centers on what is already working and how to expand it. Together these approaches give options rather than a single path forward, and Alexis will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and eliminate travel time. Some formats reduce bandwidth or let people keep their camera off for a check-in, while others are better for practicing skills together in real time. Alexis will discuss the practical setup and help plan sessions that fit everyday life.
