About Alexis
Alexis Bates is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with people struggling with relationships, self-esteem, life changes, and the extra strain of chronic illness or pain. Alexis keeps language direct and practical so worried parents can quickly see what therapy will look like.
Alexis brings four years of experience to a mind-body approach. She uses somatic techniques to help people notice bodily tension and learn simple ways to calm the nervous system.
How Alexis works
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to untangle patterns that affect closeness and trust in relationships. Sessions focus on small, doable steps. Clients learn tools to manage anxiety in everyday moments and build confidence over time.
Work often includes breathing and grounding practices, short mindful exercises, and talking through patterns that keep someone stuck. Alexis aims to make therapy feel collaborative. She helps people identify goals, then matches strategies to what actually fits their life.
For those sorting out life purpose, self-love, or social anxiety, she pairs practical skill-building with attention to feelings in the body. Based in Colorado, Alexis supports adults navigating the stress of modern life. Her style is calm, direct, and hands-on, with an emphasis on usable skills people can practice between sessions.

Mind-body approaches for online care
Alexis uses somatic work and attachment-informed therapy to address anxiety and stress. Somatic Therapy focuses on the body and teaches simple practices to notice tension, regulate breathing, and reduce the intensity of anxiety. It can help people feel more grounded and respond differently to stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connection styles shape current reactions and expectations in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexis works with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals and daily life. She invites collaboration on what feels useful, and adapts techniques as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let therapist and client work closely on expression and body cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers typing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
