About Alexis
Alexis Putnam is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns, and helps people build motivation and self-esteem.
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods in session. Conversations center on what is happening now and what change would look like. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide that work.
Sessions often involve learning practical skills for managing panic and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of abuse. Issues such as body image, fertility concerns, gender dysphoria, and isolation are also within her stated focus areas.
Alexis explains options and steps in plain language. She and the client set short-term goals and check progress regularly. Expect conversations that move from understanding patterns to trying small, achievable experiments between sessions.
Her practice is located in New York and she works in English. People considering starting therapy are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking. The first session typically establishes priorities and a practical plan for the next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Alexis frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage symptoms of anxiety and panic.Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to clarify values and strengthen the will to change. That approach is conversational and helps people decide which changes to try first. Together these methods support short-term goals and stepwise experiments between sessions.
Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively to choose methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. When arranged, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around school, work, or caregiving commitments.
