About Alexis
Alexis Brown is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Oregon with seven years of professional experience. She brings direct, lived experience with addiction to her work and uses that perspective to relate to people facing similar struggles. Alexis focuses on clear, honest conversation and meets each person where they are in recovery or change.
She often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports concerns around trauma and abuse, self-esteem, body image, and eating or food-related issues.
Background and approach
She has specific experience with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and domestic violence related matters. Alexis favors an authentic, genuine style. She encourages people to lead the conversation, treating them as the expert on their own lives.
Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and practical, so people can talk about hard things and find concrete steps forward. Her background includes several years working in addiction support and recovery, alongside broader mental health work. That mix gives her familiarity with both substance use struggles and mood-related issues.
People looking for a therapist who understands recovery and everyday emotional challenges often find this approach accessible. Sessions are available in English through online formats. Alexis works with each person to set goals, try strategies that fit daily life, and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, often drawing on methods that support coping skills and recovery. One common approach focuses on practical coping strategies and behavioral changes that help manage cravings, reduce risky behaviors, and build routines that support recovery from substance use. This is useful for people dealing with addiction and relapse prevention.Another approach emphasizes skills for managing mood and anxiety. It includes learning simple, repeatable tools for stress reduction, emotion regulation, and problem-solving so daily life feels more manageable. This approach is often paired with attention to trauma-informed care when needed, helping people process difficult events at a pace they set.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Alexis works with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans as progress is made. She treats clients as partners in decision-making and tailors methods to match preferences and life demands.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a real-life routine.
