About Alexa

Alexa Argianas is a licensed clinical social worker who blends cognitive and behavioral methods with a client-centered stance to help people reframe difficult thoughts and develop practical coping skills.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside trauma-informed techniques to support clients working through stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of abuse. Alexa’s background as a certified social caseworker informs her ability to connect clients with resources while keeping therapy focused on skill-building and measurable change.

With eight years of clinical experience, Alexa has worked extensively with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking and has developed targeted approaches for trauma, process addictions, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and self-determination, creating space for both validation and challenge.

Clients work with her to set clear goals and practice tools that promote long-term resilience and empowerment. Alexa practices in Colorado and frames each treatment plan around the client’s priorities, combining elements from DBT, EFT, and solution-oriented strategies when appropriate.

She aims to foster a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports accountability and real-world progress toward the changes a client wants to make.

Online therapy using practical, attachment-aware approaches

Alexa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work to address both current symptoms and relational patterns. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and skill practice, making it useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and managing addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape expectations and emotional responses, which can be helpful for addressing intimacy concerns, family of origin issues, and patterns of codependency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alexa aims to make that a collaborative decision. She will work with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adapting plans over time to find the best fit for each person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, caregiving, and geography. These formats make it possible to practice skills in everyday contexts, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapy into varied schedules while working with a licensed professional in Colorado.
