More about Alexa

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families living with mental health challenges. My work has centered on helping people navigate stress, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and practical tools for resilience. I bring a background in advocacy, systems change, and leadership, while always keeping my focus on the individual sitting in front of me. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in the belief that healing is possible when we feel truly seen and supported.

I help clients understand what they’re carrying, why it feels heavy, and how to move forward with more ease. My focus is on emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healing from stress or relational hurt. I offer a supportive, culturally attuned space where we can explore your experiences together, build new skills, and reconnect you with your strengths.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
