About Alexis
Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She holds licensure in Florida and New York and lists a range of concerns she works with, including anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues.
Alexis keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems repeating. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small, usable steps to change daily patterns.
Her background includes approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. She uses these methods to address impulsivity, self-esteem struggles, grief, addictions, and adjustment-related stress. Treatment emphasizes skills practice and clearer communication rather than abstract theories.
Alexis has experience working across diverse concerns such as parenting stress, family of origin issues, multicultural topics, OCD symptoms, panic and phobias, and mood conditions including bipolar disorder. She also lists support for LGBT issues, career and life-purpose questions, and self-love work.
Her style is matter-of-fact and relational. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try new responses, and build routines that reduce reactive anger and ongoing resentment. Practical tools and problem-solving are part of sessions, alongside attention to emotional experience and relationships.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can be useful for anger that comes from ongoing frustration, life changes, or conflict about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to interrupt unhelpful cycles. CBT is often applied to anger, anxiety, panic, and compulsive patterns.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Alexis collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful in early sessions and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and focused on real-life changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use digital worksheets or skills practice between meetings. The emphasis is on using approaches like ACT and CBT in ways that fit daily life rather than promising a particular delivery method.
