Alexis Johnson

Alexis Johnson is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical skills that help people cope with stress, anxiety, substance concerns, and life changes. Her manner is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients feel understood and make steady progress.

Alexis uses clear, goal-focused methods to address problems like low self-esteem, anger, sleep troubles, and grief. She also helps with communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and divorce and separation. Sessions emphasize small, realistic steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence.

Her work blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods with client-centered listening. She draws from motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help clients clarify what matters and move toward it. The emphasis is on practical change rather than jargon.

Alexis has supported people through addiction recovery, infidelity, jealousy, and midlife transitions. She also brings experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues and career-related stress. Her practice aims to meet clients where they are and tailor tools to everyday life.

Throughout treatment she prioritizes collaboration and respect for each person’s story. Clients are invited to set goals, test new habits, and adjust plans as needed. Alexis works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

How Alexis applies therapy online and by approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and grounded in everyday needs.

Confirm session formats before booking to know what is currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the contexts where they live and work, which can help transfer gains from session to daily life.
