About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also lists family of origin issues, grief, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus.
Alexis favors straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions often look like discussing what feels most pressing, naming patterns that repeat from early family life, and trying small changes to daily routines or interactions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to reframe unhelpful thoughts and from solution-focused work to set short-term, manageable goals.
Her practice also draws on client-centered and narrative methods. That means listening for each person’s story, clarifying what they value, and working to shift the parts of the story that keep causing pain or stuckness. Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs clearer motivation to change habits or make decisions.
Alexis has supported people through parenting transitions, fertility and fatherhood concerns, immigration-related stress, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She notes experience with both caregiver stress and issues tied to family roles and expectations. Her background emphasizes practical problem solving alongside understanding how early family patterns continue to influence current choices.
People who choose her often want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She asks concrete questions, suggests exercises to try between sessions, and revisits goals regularly to see what is working and what needs adjusting.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach focus on clarifying priorities, naming feelings, and shaping a plan that fits the person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying short experiments between meetings, and tracking progress week to week. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change; it uses focused questions to strengthen motivation and set realistic next steps.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss which methods seem most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and make it simpler to practice skills in everyday contexts.
