About Alexis
Alexis Putnam is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with identity and self-worth. Alexis aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to start making changes.
She uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions often include simple skills for managing panic, worry, and painful memories.
How Alexis works
Mindfulness tools are offered to help clients stay grounded in the present moment. Alexis also supports people working through issues related to gender, sexuality, body image, and fertility concerns. She pays attention to how these topics affect day-to-day life and sense of self.
She will tailor conversations and plans to the needs each person brings to sessions. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances short-term problem solving with deeper emotional work. Motivational techniques help people find reasons to make and sustain change.
Trauma-focused practices are used when past events are affecting current functioning. Alexis brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She frames therapy as a partnership and offers steady support while people try new ways of coping.
The focus is on small, practical steps that lead to more confidence and clearer direction.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and low mood by teaching practical skills to change thinking and behavior.Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and worry. It can be useful for stress, rumination, and for grounding during difficult memories or panic sensations.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's reasons for change and strengthen personal motivation. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets most of the in-person work continue, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep momentum between appointments.
