About Alexis

Alexis Johnson is a licensed social worker with 14 years of experience helping people navigate stressful life shifts and emotional challenges. She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients develop clearer coping strategies, stronger self-understanding, and healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.

Background and approach

Alexis emphasizes collaboration and respect, working alongside clients to set achievable goals and build resilience. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, addictions and recovery, anger and self-esteem issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related difficulties.

She also addresses career-related challenges, sleep problems, and the practical impacts of divorce, infidelity, and jealousy. Alexis integrates approaches that support behavior change, motivational readiness, and solution-focused planning to help clients move forward.

Based in Michigan and practicing in English, Alexis holds an LMSW (MI LMSW 6801091221) and balances a warm, client-centered stance with structured techniques when appropriate. Prospective clients can expect an empathetic clinician who combines real-world experience with a range of therapeutic tools to support coping with life changes and pursuing personal growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online



Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it is practical for addressing sleep problems, social anxiety, and coping skills. ACT emphasizes values and willingness to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with grief, trauma recovery, and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will work together with each client to understand needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods from CBT, ACT, and client-centered principles to create a personalized plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online delivery options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats allow clients to engage in skills practice, motivational conversations, and solution-focused planning from different settings, making it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
