Alexis Jones, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alexis!

Life can become overwhelming, especially when you are carrying stress anxiety, depression or trauma while trying to keep everything together. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, honesty and practical support.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, substance use, life transitions and emotional overwhelm.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I utilize evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and trauma informed care to help individuals develop healthier coping skills, improve emotional wellness and create meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental while also being honest, direct and goal oriented when needed. I strive to create a safe space where individuals feel comfortable discussing difficult emotions, experiences and personal challenges without fear of criticism or shame.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been passionate about helping people feel understood, supported and empowered during difficult seasons in life. Through both my professional and personal experiences, I recognized how important it is to have a safe space where individuals can process challenges without judgment.

My goals for you

I will help you set realistic, meaningful goals that align with the life you want to create. Together we will identify patterns, challenges, and barriers that may be contributing to emotional distress, unhealthy coping behaviors or feeling “stuck”.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous or unsure about the process. Your first session is a chance for us to begin building a comfortable and supportive therapeutic relationship. During this session we will talk about what has been going on in your life and what you hope to gain from therapy.
