About Alexis
Alexis Putnam is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those struggling with motivation and confidence.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices are part of her work to reduce anxious thoughts and manage mood. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help set concrete short-term goals.
Her approach is collaborative. She works with each person to set goals and pick steps that fit everyday life. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes rather than long theoretical discussions.
She has experience addressing related concerns such as blended family issues, body image, fertility questions, gender dysphoria, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, social anxiety, and young adult issues. That range informs how she plans sessions and what tools she brings to the conversation.
Alexis adapts her style based on what someone needs in the moment. She favors concrete strategies like thought tracking, practiced breathing or mindfulness exercises, brief motivational interviewing, and problem-solving worksheets. People can expect clear steps and check-ins on progress as part of ongoing care.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on brief attention and breathing exercises to calm intense feelings and improve focus.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to boost commitment to change. That method is conversational and aims to strengthen motivation by exploring goals and small steps forward. These approaches are practical and task-oriented, which fits well with remote sessions when the focus is on skills and short exercises.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches make sense based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
The therapist's session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people use therapy more consistently while they work on specific goals.
