About Avery

Avery Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience working in community-focused settings. She draws on a background of outreach and mentoring to inform a practice that centers practical skills and self-understanding.

Background and approach

Avery emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and dialectical strategies, tailoring these tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and substance-related challenges. Her approach is shaped by early community involvement and a commitment to inclusive care, which shows in attention to identity, relationships, and life transitions.

Avery incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when relevant, supporting clients as they build coping strategies, address sleep and addiction concerns, and explore issues such as attachment, body image, grief, and compassion fatigue. She works with a broad set of presenting problems including bipolar and other mood disorders, ADHD, trichotillomania, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

Based in Utah, Avery offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

Online Care Using Practical Therapeutic Techniques

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; it helps people gain clarity and feel heard while exploring their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings together acceptance and change strategies, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship stressors.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to weigh needs, goals, and personal preferences and may integrate elements from different methods as appropriate to create a tailored plan. This helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the individual while building concrete coping strategies.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can access care from home or on the go. These formats support consistent scheduling, quicker check-ins between sessions, and choices that match communication style and life demands, making it easier to maintain momentum on therapeutic goals.
