About Alexis

LMSW in Michigan with 14 years of experience, Alexis Johnson focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and self-esteem work. She helps people who are facing big life changes, grief, anger, or sleep problems. Alexis uses practical talk and collaborative planning to set clear steps forward.

Alexis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods among other approaches. She prefers short, focused conversations that link thoughts and behavior to everyday choices. Sessions often include goal setting, skills practice, and checking how strategies work between meetings.

Her work addresses communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also helps with career stress, intimacy-related concerns, and substance use issues. People working through midlife changes or veteran and armed forces issues are included in her focus areas.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in her toolkit when change feels stalled. These methods are used to build momentum and identify immediate, practical steps. The emphasis is on what can be tried now to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Alexis meets clients in English and brings 14 years of client-facing practice to each case. She works with adults on a range of problems from social anxiety and phobia to forgiveness and rebuilding self-love.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT skill set for a few sessions, then shifting to ACT exercises or motivational interviewing if needed.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Therapists often adapt exercises, homework, and progress checks to work well in virtual meetings so clients can practice skills between sessions.
