Alexis Jamshidi, LCSW

Alexis Jamshidi is a California-based licensed therapist who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She practices as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which reflects specialized training in clinical social work and psychotherapy and the ability to provide long-term therapeutic care. Alexis centers her work on understanding each person’s unique history and present-day stresses, whether those arise from workplace pressure, identity exploration, or shifting family roles.

Her approach emphasizes empowerment and practical growth, helping clients cultivate self-esteem, stronger communication, and greater emotional connection with others. She has experience working with women, young adults, and families during transitions such as pregnancy, becoming a parent, separation, and other relationship shifts. Alexis also offers support for caregiver stress, infertility concerns, commitment and intimacy issues, and complex family-of-origin dynamics.

Alexis brings culturally responsive, compassionate care to therapeutic relationships, honoring multicultural backgrounds and immigration experiences while addressing family problems, domestic violence histories, and trauma. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore emotions, build resilience, and find meaningful paths forward toward healing and renewed purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alexis integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to help explore feelings and values - this approach can help with self-esteem, identity work, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, which can be helpful for issues like commitment concerns and behavior shifts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Alexis collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction as progress unfolds. The process is practical and client-guided, with the therapist offering tools and reflection to support decision making.

Online therapy with Alexis is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care during busy periods, transitions, or when in-person visits are not feasible, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, evidence-informed support.
