About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and anger among other life stresses. Alexis offers practical, down-to-earth help for people coping with major life changes and ongoing emotional strain.
Her work combines talk-based care with strategies aimed at clearer thinking and better communication. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change patterns of thought, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s goals. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques appear when people want concrete next steps or to resolve a specific problem fast.
Alexis often supports people dealing with family history and origin issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties around intimacy. She also addresses caregiver stress, commitment concerns, control issues, and workplace strain. Her background includes helping people through divorce and separation, fertility and fatherhood challenges, and immigration-related stressors.
Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing anger, improving communication, and rebuilding trust after hurts. She works with people on setting boundaries, reducing resentment, and coping with reactive moments. The focus is on skills that can be used between sessions to notice triggers and choose different responses.
People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in California.
How sessions work
How Alexis uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps clarify goals and keeps the work oriented around the client's priorities rather than a preset agenda.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors, which can be useful for anger, anxiety and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to specific steps. It pairs well with solution-focused techniques when someone wants short-term progress on a particular issue.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences and daily routine. That process can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most.
If you are considering sessions online, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, provide shorter check-ins when needed, and allow for sessions without travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be structured to match work breaks, caregiving responsibilities, or other commitments.
