About Alexis
Alexis Tyson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people sort out emotional and relationship challenges. She focuses on spotting patterns that get in the way - unhelpful habits, thoughts, and behaviors - and then practicing new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Alexis approaches therapy as a team effort and works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. She has nine years of clinical experience and has spent much of that time helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.
Her practice also addresses concerns such as bipolar moods, grief, anger, self-esteem, and stress. She supports people facing intimacy issues, parenting strain, career transitions, and LGBT-related challenges.
Her methods draw from several established approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, noticing patterns, and making small changes that add up over time.
Alexis often helps people unpack past hurts and learn how those experiences shape current choices. She uses straightforward conversation, guided exercises, and reflective listening to help clients try new behaviors and perspectives.
Progress is tracked against the goals clients set together. People who choose Alexis usually want a collaborative therapist who is direct but empathetic.
Her style is practical and grounded, with an emphasis on clear steps clients can use between sessions. She aims to empower clients to manage symptoms and move toward the life they want.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems where avoidance has become a default response. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into smaller parts and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for mood struggles, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes identifying and naming emotions in relationship and intimacy work, helping people shift interaction patterns that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process lets therapist and client adjust the plan if something isn’t helping or if needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let therapist and client read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, between-session support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
