About Alexis
Alexis Jamshidi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make sense of hard moments and find steps forward. Alexis keeps things focused and humane so people feel heard and able to act.
Alexis blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered care to help people rewrite troubling stories about themselves. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared toward clear goals like improving communication, reducing anxiety, or managing grief. She has six years of clinical experience working with individuals on parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and trauma-related concerns. Alexis pays attention to cultural and immigration-related issues when they shape someone’s experience.
She helps clients name the problems that matter most and decide what to change first. In sessions she focuses on practical skills as well as personal meaning. That can look like role-playing a difficult conversation, testing a new coping strategy, or tracing a family story that still causes pain.
The aim is steady progress, not a quick fix. Alexis practices in California and meets people online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She explains the process clearly up front and works with each person to match pace and goals.

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Alexis uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about their lives and identify alternatives that feel truer and more manageable. Narrative work can help with identity questions, family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, and the way past events keep showing up now.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions a space where the client’s perspective leads the process, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger because it breaks problems into clear, testable steps.
Choosing an approach is a shared task. Alexis will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress unfolds. The first sessions often focus on what matters most and which techniques to try first.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
