About Alexis
Alexis Putnam is a New York licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and trauma.
Background and approach
She works with clients who are exploring LGBT issues and related identity questions, and attends to specific concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, body image, and feelings of isolation. Alexis frames care around each person’s goals and lived experience, meeting clients where they are and adapting a treatment plan to fit their circumstances.
Her practice blends practical, evidence-informed methods with compassionate listening. Over seven years of clinical work she has used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused approaches to help clients build skills, increase resilience, and clarify next steps.
Alexis emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empowerment, and she collaborates with clients to set achievable goals and support meaningful change.
Evidence-Informed Methods for Online Work
Alexis often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and panic. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding practices that support emotional regulation and reduce stress. These approaches are commonly used together to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alexis treats it as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailor techniques or blend methods so therapy feels useful and manageable. This exploration helps determine whether to emphasize skill-building, trauma-focused work, motivation strategies, or short-term solution-focused steps.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, continue work during transitions, and stay consistent with appointments while collaborating with a licensed professional.
