Alexis Johnson

Hi there, I'm Alexis!

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and a Certified Alcohol/Drug Counselor with 14 years of experience. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with pattern recognition and practical strategy. My style is collaborative and gently directive, offering clear guidance that aligns with your pace and goals.

My focus

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or ready for change. Together, we focus on understanding what is holding you back and creating a plan that helps you feel grounded, clear, and empowered. The approach is always tailored to the individual with clear, actionable steps forward.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. We'll tailor each session to your unique needs, focusing on your goals and progress as we identify challenges and work on strategies.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, attentive, and direct. I create a space where you feel heard and respected, while also offering clear feedback and guidance. You can expect me to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you clarify your thoughts and goals with an actionable problem-solving approach.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to guide others to find strength through life's hardest challenges. I'm continually driven by the belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work rewarding.

My goals for you

Goals are always set through collaboration. You decide what feels important, and I guide the process by suggesting strategies and tools that match your needs. We create the plan together, you practice in between sessions, and we review and adjust as you go. Moving from where you are to where you want to be with actions.

Our first session

In our first session, I gather background information, explore your concerns, and help identify your goals. It is also a time for you to ask questions and get a sense of how I work, so you feel comfortable moving forward. You are in charge here. It is a safe place to share your concerns, define your goals, and decide how to move forward.
