    About Alexis

    Alexis Jamshidi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses Motivational Interviewing to help people facing stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She focuses on practical steps people can take right now to feel steadier and more connected. Her tone is calm and direct, and she aims to make therapy clear and doable.

    Alexis draws from client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s values and goals. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to uncover unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Motivational Interviewing helps when making changes feels hard or overwhelming.

    Her background includes six years of clinical practice in California, supporting people through grief, trauma, parenting stress, and work-related strain. She has particular experience with immigration-related concerns and family-of-origin issues. Alexis pays attention to cultural context and how identity shapes emotional life.

    In sessions she helps people improve communication, manage anger, address intimacy concerns, and cope with life transitions such as divorce or fertility challenges. She also works with clients facing caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue, offering concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm.

    Therapy with Alexis typically involves setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking in on what’s working. She encourages a collaborative pace so people can try changes without feeling rushed. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and Practical Therapy Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people move toward change by exploring their own reasons for it and building small, achievable steps. It’s useful for shifting habits, addressing commitment issues, or finding motivation during major life changes.

    Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to each person so goals come from their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.

    Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alexis will work together with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can involve trying an approach for a few sessions and then adjusting based on how it’s going.

    Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue care across life transitions while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
