Alexis Jamshidi, LCSW

Alexis Jamshidi is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on day-to-day problems like relationship strain, depression, parenting stress, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at making therapy feel useful and manageable. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Alexis also uses client-centered techniques to listen deeply and follow each person's pace. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support finding the next step. Her background includes six years working with people facing family conflict, grief, trauma, and career pressure. She brings attention to cultural and immigration-related concerns when they affect a person's emotional life. This makes therapy more relevant when life events intersect with identity and background. Sessions focus on practical skills and small experiments between meetings. Alexis helps people build clearer communication, set healthier boundaries, and regain energy for everyday life. She works with the realities of parenting demands and caregiver stress without minimizing those pressures. Clients can expect concrete tools alongside compassionate listening. Alexis aims to help people leave sessions with one or two things they can try right away. Over time those small changes can add up to clearer decisions and steadier coping.

How Alexis uses practical approaches in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person's priorities. The therapist creates space for someone to tell their story and decide which goals matter most, which helps when life events feel overwhelming. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck by helping them find their own reasons to change in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexis will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can shift as progress is made, and choices are shaped by what feels helpful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, check-ins, and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when life changes occur.
