    About Alexis

    Alexis Barbieri is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem. She offers an affirming, compassionate approach and pays careful attention to each person’s identity and values. Her practice emphasizes respect and practical support that people can use between sessions.

    Alexis uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people identify and strengthen their own motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for living in line with personal values.

    Her work often includes building coping strategies for grief, compassion fatigue, trauma, and relationship challenges. She also supports people working with ADHD and those navigating addiction concerns. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps and on strategies that fit day-to-day life.

    Alexis aims to create a non-judgmental space where people can talk through their concerns honestly. She emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She offers part-time hours with weekend availability, including Friday mornings and Saturday and Sunday evenings.

    People who choose Alexis can expect direct, easy-to-follow suggestions and steady encouragement. She centers each person’s lived experience and priorities while helping them build resilience and clearer steps forward.

  2. How Motivational and Values-Based Methods Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses curious questions and reflective listening to clarify what matters most and to boost commitment for next steps.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and practical feedback rather than directing every choice.

    Picking the right approach is usually part of early sessions. Alexis will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She tailors tools and small experiments to real life, not theory alone.

    If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Alexis focuses on practical skills and motivation that translate into everyday routines.
