Alexandra "Lexy" Spett, LMFT

Alexandra "Lexy" Spett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical foundation to help clients notice patterns, shift thinking, and try new behaviors. She combines CBT with psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to address immediate problems while also looking at longer patterns that matter. Lexy is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience in California. She works with late adolescents, young adults, and with parents of emerging adults to navigate transitions and strained relationships.

Lexy focuses on common concerns like stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. She also helps with family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, and loneliness. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods.

Her approach is warm and direct. She talks plainly about goals, keeps sessions goal-oriented, and checks in about progress. Parents meet with her to get practical guidance on how to support a young adult while adjusting expectations and boundaries.

Lexy welcomes people who want straightforward tools and honest conversation. She works collaboratively to build plans that fit each person's situation. Her background across approaches gives room to use short-term problem solving or deeper exploration when needed.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Alexandra combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to offer both practical tools and deeper understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and family of origin themes to understand how past experiences affect current choices. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and clear goals to create change quickly.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide whether short-term, goal-focused work or deeper exploration will best meet current needs and goals. The plan is adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone calls can be a lighter check-in or work better with limited bandwidth, and messaging lets people send updates or schedule brief check-ins between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
