Alexis Tyson, LMFT

Alexis Tyson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems that affect day-to-day life, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and anger. Alexis focuses on helping people identify habits and beliefs that get in the way and then change them through practical work in sessions.

She approaches therapy collaboratively. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and try out different ways of responding. Alexis uses methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavior approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and test alternatives.

Her practice includes attention to relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues that arise after sexual assault or military service. She also supports people facing bipolar mood shifts, career stress, and questions tied to LGBT identity. The emphasis is on concrete steps clients can take between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve functioning.

In sessions she combines narrative ideas with emotion-focused tools to name feelings and the stories that keep them stuck. That mix aims to make anger and other strong emotions easier to understand and manage. Alexis encourages clients to set clear goals and track small changes over time.

To begin she asks people to describe current struggles and priorities. From there she and the client decide which tools to use and what early goals look like. This keeps the work focused and practical while still attending to underlying patterns.
