Alexis James, LMHC

Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship strain. Alexis aims to help people find practical ways to feel more steady day to day. Her manner is warm and approachable, and she speaks plainly about goals and steps in therapy.

Alexis draws on ten years of experience to tailor care to each person. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients identify values and take small, meaningful actions toward them.

Her approach includes client-centered listening and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation skills are needed. Emotionally-focused ideas can be part of sessions when relationship patterns are the focus. Alexis often blends methods to match the problem at hand rather than rely on a single technique.

She has worked with issues tied to trauma, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Additional areas she supports include caregiver stress, communication problems, and multicultural concerns. Alexis describes herself as easygoing and motivated to help people build better routines and stronger coping skills.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to change moods and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, panic, obsessions, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clear emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for strong emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs evolve and progress is made.

Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find that online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Others appreciate being able to continue consistent therapy during moves or schedule shifts. The focus remains on practical skills, guided conversation, and tracking small steps toward clearer routines and coping strategies.
