Alexis James

Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She works with concerns like grief, trauma, addiction, self-esteem, career strain, and parenting stress. Alexis brings a calm, relatable presence and practical focus to sessions.

She draws on ten years of clinical experience and uses familiar, hands-on methods. Sessions look at everyday thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She helps people notice patterns, practice new skills, and build routines that fit real life.

Alexis uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused ideas are also part of her toolkit when emotion regulation and relationships are central.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to create a space where clients can talk honestly and test new ways of coping. The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Alexis holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC, and practices in New York. She has worked across many concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, panic, and OCD-related problems. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alexis commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect, and it teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are hard.

She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. That approach teaches strategies for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexis will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She works collaboratively, tracking what helps and making adjustments along the way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice new skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into sessions. Many licensed professionals find that therapy done remotely still supports steady progress when approaches and pacing are chosen together.
