Alexis Tyson, LMFT

Alexis Tyson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She works with clients to identify unhelpful habits and beliefs and then builds practical steps to change them.

Alexis draws on cognitive behavior approaches alongside humanistic ideas. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods to clarify values and strengthen motivation.

Sessions focus on clear goals and useful tools. Conversations aim to make daily life easier, not just to talk about problems. Clients learn concrete skills to manage stress, mood, and reactions to difficult memories or triggers.

She also addresses issues around intimacy, parenting, career stress, grief, anger, and identity concerns including LGBT matters. Alexis has additional focus on veteran and armed forces issues and sexual assault and abuse. She helps people find a manageable path forward after painful experiences.

Alexis practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She takes a team approach with each person, setting achievable steps and adjusting work as goals change. The pace and tools used depend on what the client needs and wants to try.

How online sessions use CBT and values-based work

Alexis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practices specific skills to change them. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns linked to addiction or stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present; this helps with motivation and long-term change.

The right approach is a collaborative decision. Alexis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose a mix of CBT tools and values-based work that fits the client's situation and adjusts the plan as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
