About Alexis
Alexis Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon with seven years of professional experience. She brings direct, lived experience of addiction to her practice and uses that perspective to support people as they find their path through recovery. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She also helps with trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and related concerns like body image and eating issues. She has experience with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth related struggles, and domestic violence survivors.
How Alexis works
Her style is straightforward and authentic. She aims to be genuine and nonjudgmental so clients feel accepted and safe to share. Alexis treats each person as the expert on their own life and follows the client’s lead during sessions.
Sessions address practical coping skills, motivation, and problem-solving alongside emotional processing. Because Alexis has personal experience with recovery, she combines that perspective with clinical care to support people through early change and maintaining progress. People who choose her can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth approach.
Conversations are paced to match what the client needs. The emphasis is on steady support, building confidence, and practical steps toward the goals the client names.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One key approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and support recovery from substance use. These techniques teach concrete steps for handling cravings, reducing worry, and improving day-to-day functioning.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care and processing experiences of abuse or postpartum challenges. This work helps people make sense of painful events, reduce their impact on daily life, and rebuild a sense of safety and self-trust. Both approaches are guided by the client's goals and pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about focus and technique are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with what the client wants.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
