About Alexis

Alexis Tyson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way of daily life and works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Her approach is collaborative and focused on practical change.

She concentrates on anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and related concerns such as stress, grief, anger, and self esteem. Alexis also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career decisions, and challenges that arise from life transitions. She notes additional experience with veteran and armed forces issues and sexual assault and abuse.

Alexis uses a mix of humanistic and cognitive-behavioral ideas in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

She also incorporates emotion-focused work to help people name and process difficult feelings, and narrative approaches to reframe life stories that feel stuck. Sessions tend to focus on real-world steps you can try between meetings so progress continues outside the room.

If someone is facing anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, or problems with self esteem, Alexis aims to help them find workable strategies and regain a sense of control. To begin, she invites people to consider what matters most to them and then build a plan around those priorities.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. Online work with ACT can help when someone wants to move past avoidance and build a life that fits their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online setting CBT often uses concrete exercises and short between-session tasks to track progress and problem-solve practical obstacles. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for a time, shifting to more emotion-focused work, or mixing approaches as challenges change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to arrange childcare on site. It also supports consistent use of techniques between sessions, since worksheets and practice tasks can be shared and reviewed during follow-ups.
