Alex has been such a gift. She listens deeply, responds thoughtfully, and gently holds me accountable. She has a wide range of skills we use in session - EMDR, Grief Recovery, and others. I especially appreciate her ability to show me I'm making progress and to teach me to recognize that myself. She's also clear when I may need more specialized resources. As the cherry on top, when we have a light session, we have fun personal conversations like laundry advice!

More about Alexcis

  • 5 years' experience

  • LCSW, LICSW

Hi, I'm Alexcis! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people who long to feel stable and content. In working with clients I find that we all want to be physically, and emotionally healthy but hold ourselves back due to past and present difficulties. These barriers, keep us from moving forward and accomplishing our goals.

Living a life of values does not guarantee a stress-free easy life. It can however help get through the tough times by keeping us on track to accomplish our goals. Life is hard and full of stress. I believe that through self-compassion, values, mindfulness, and a desire for something better will lead to a meaningful life. Please message me so that we can get scheduled to start your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve only had a few sessions but I already feel pretty comfortable talking to her about stuff I don’t even like talking to myself about. I also feel like the tools I’m given are starting to help already. As well as always making time to talk about what is really bothering my at the moment.

Alexis is a wonderful counselor. I have made significant progress thanks to her help. She is a great listener and provides practical advice. It feels like working with a peer. I can’t recommend her highly enough. My finger slipped and I gave her a 9/10 but I wish I could have given a 11/10!
