About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges. She uses straightforward, practical talk therapy to address stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. Alexis keeps sessions focused and down-to-earth so people can leave with concrete next steps.
She blends client-centered care with structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix lets clients name what matters most and then try small, actionable strategies to feel better.
Background and approach
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Alexis has six years of experience working with people facing grief, trauma, and career stress. She pays attention to family background, cultural context, and immigration-related concerns when those issues come up.
That helps tailor conversations to each person’s life and values. In sessions she focuses on improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and rebuilding self-esteem. She helps people work through forgiveness, guilt, control issues, and the fallout from breakups or infidelity.
The work is practical and aimed at everyday improvements rather than quick fixes. She provides therapy in California and holds a CA LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential in the state. Sessions are offered in English.
Alexis supports people who want steady, compassionate guidance while they navigate change and manage difficult feelings.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them make sense of their feelings; this approach is useful for relationship concerns, grief, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches concrete tools - like testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions - which is helpful for anxiety, anger, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That collaboration lets the therapist adjust pacing, tools, and conversation style as the relationship develops.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is needed. Phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is best. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typed communication. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
