About Alexa
Alexa Argianas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teenagers on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and recovery from abuse. Alexa also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction issues, career pressures, and identity questions.
She blends straightforward cognitive and behavioral strategies with attachment and emotion-focused approaches. That means sessions often look at unhelpful thought patterns and teach skills to manage strong feelings in the moment. She uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and CBT alongside client-centered listening to help people practice change.
Alexa has worked extensively with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking. That experience shaped how she supports people who carry shame, guilt, or post-traumatic stress. She also draws on her background as a certified social caseworker to help clients connect with practical resources when needed.
Her style emphasizes partnership and clear goals. Clients can expect honest feedback, concrete skill-building, and regular check-ins about progress. She focuses on what a person wants to change and creates steps to get there.
Typical topics in sessions include managing impulsivity, healing attachment wounds, coping with abandonment or caregiver stress, and reducing process addictions. Alexa encourages problem-solving around communication problems, boundary-setting, and rebuilding trust after difficult experiences.
People who choose her often want practical tools for daily life. Sessions work toward measurable shifts - fewer intense reactions, better emotional regulation, and clearer decision-making. Alexa asks clients to set goals and to try small, doable practices between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationships shape current reactions and to rebuild healthier ways of relating.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Alexa will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the focus as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
