Approaches that guide online sessions
Alexis draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to address trauma and stress. Brainspotting is one approach she uses to help people access and process distressing memories through focused attention and body awareness; it can be useful for post-traumatic stress and stuck emotional patterns. Trauma-informed cognitive strategies aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills, which helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexis collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging support shorter updates and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
