About Alexis

Alexis Jamshidi is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and narrative techniques to help people identify patterns, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build concrete skills for coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her work also addresses parenting and family dynamics, communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse.

With six years of clinical experience in California, Alexis brings a compassionate, culturally attentive stance to each therapeutic relationship. She assists clients facing career stress, caregiver burden, fertility and fatherhood issues, immigration-related challenges, and other complex circumstances, supporting them in developing self-compassion, clearer communication, and healthier boundaries.

Sessions aim to translate insight into practical strategies that fit each person’s daily life and goals.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care



Alexis frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to help clients feel heard and to clarify personal goals and values. Together these methods support both insight and practical change, useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining listening, skill-building, and goal-focused exercises so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage caregiver or work demands, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without traveling to an office.
