About Curllin
Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York psychologist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and sleep concerns. She uses a straightforward, person-centered style to help clients find practical ways to cope. Dr. Alexis works with adults who want clearer communication, steadier moods, or better rest at night. She holds the credential NY Psychologist 025059 and has six years of clinical experience.
Her sessions tend to focus on real-life problems like grief, changes at work, and struggles with self-esteem. She combines talking and skill practice so people leave with tools they can use between meetings. Common topics include managing impulsivity, handling caregiving stress, and working through attachment or abandonment concerns.
Dr. Alexis draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thought patterns that get in the way. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people notice values and take small steps toward them. Attachment-based work is used when relationship history shapes present fears and patterns.
She pays attention to how culture and identity shape stress and coping. That perspective helps when immigration, HIV/AIDS, or hospice and end-of-life issues are part of the story. The tone in sessions is respectful and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Practical matters are part of the plan too. She talks about what changes will fit into daily life and helps set clear, achievable goals. People leave sessions with concrete next steps and ways to track small improvements.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and situations where motivation is low. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. CBT can help with sleep problems, low mood, and recurring worry.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current patterns, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into workdays or caregiving schedules and helpful when they want shorter check-ins or to avoid travel. Discussing session length and frequency makes it easier to match therapy to everyday life.
