About Alexis
Alexis Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, grief, and sleep concerns. She uses clear, practical steps so clients can find calmer days and better routines. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based changes. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds, while Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support short-term goals and hard decisions. Sessions mix skill-building, gentle challenge, and problem solving.
Alexis often helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, or the fallout from divorce and separation. She also supports those facing career upheaval, midlife transitions, and the stress of major life changes. Sleeping problems are included among the concerns she addresses with practical strategies.
Her work emphasizes collaboration. She and the person she sees set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track what helps. Progress is measured in real-life changes rather than labels.
Based in Michigan, Alexis offers straightforward care that respects each person’s story. Conversations are conducted in English, and she brings a focus on usable tools and steady support as people work toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when worry or fear is present. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties where avoidance keeps problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain symptoms; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems by teaching practical techniques people can use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and meeting people where they are, which supports trust and steady progress across many issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis works with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods when needed. She talks through what’s working and what isn’t, and adapts strategies based on the person’s needs and preferences.
