About Curllin
Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York licensed psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She has six years of clinical experience and offers a straightforward, compassionate style that focuses on practical steps and real-life change.
Her work covers a broad set of concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, career worries, and depression. She also helps people cope with life changes and provides coaching around stress and compassion fatigue.
How Curllin works
Dr. Alexis uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also relies on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-informed methods and client-centered care guide how she relates to clients in sessions. That means she pays close attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and centers the client's own goals and experience in therapy.
Her practice includes support for specific concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life, immigration-related stress, impulsivity, and infidelity. Sessions are offered in English and take place with New York licensure. Dr.
Alexis aims to make therapy practical, respectful, and focused on what the client wants to change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep, and behavior change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend ways to combine methods. Clients are invited to try techniques and provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, flexible exchanges across the week and can fit into busy schedules.
