About Alexis

Alexis Trainor Hourihan is a New York based licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience supporting women and young adults through a range of emotional and life challenges. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she blends professional training with a compassionate, person-centered approach to help clients navigate mood disorders, body image concerns, panic attacks, and major life transitions.

Her practice centers on addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles, with additional focus on postpartum adjustment, workplace stress, and personal growth. She tailors each therapeutic plan to the individual, recognizing that each person brings a unique history and set of needs to the work.

Alexis emphasizes collaboration, creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and build resilience. Whether supporting someone through panic symptoms or guiding a client through changes in life roles, she combines empathy with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients move toward clearer goals and more sustainable well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in accessible, practical ways. One common approach focuses on skill-building to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - these strategies help reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression by changing how clients respond to stressors. Another approach emphasizes emotion-centered work, guiding clients to process difficult feelings related to body image, postpartum adjustment, and self-esteem while developing healthier self-awareness and coping resources.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexis works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or life transitions. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or engage through live chat and text-based messaging, choosing the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. Licensed professionals can deliver consistent, effective care through these options, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
