About Alexis

Helping Clients Thrive | In-Person in Rockwall, Texas | Greenville, Tx & Online Across Texas

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with patterns that aren’t working? I’m Alexis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy in Rockwall, Texas, and virtually across the state. I help clients break through barriers, manage emotions, improve behaviors, heal from trauma, and build stronger relationships. My clients leave sessions feeling seen, understood, and equipped with tools to create lasting change.

Why Work With Me?

As a licensed professional mental health provider, I bring a strong and diverse background supporting teens, adults, and families across private practice, trauma-focused therapy, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), youth-focused clinical and legal support programs, community-based youth interventions, child advocacy, crisis intervention, and community mental health. I work with adults and children navigating trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, abuse, adverse experiences, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting challenges, women’s issues, relationship difficulties, and high-stress or high-pressure environments. CBT trauma-trained, I help clients safely process trauma, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and build practical strategies that foster resilience, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My work is deeply rooted in understanding patterns, building emotional resilience, and supporting meaningful, lasting change—especially around trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, abuse, parenting challenges, women’s issues, and life transitions. I also provide skills-based interventions to help clients manage stress, improve coping, and strengthen emotional and behavioral functioning.

How I Work

My approach goes beyond talking — I combine humanistic, client-centered care with evidence-based therapies, including Trauma-informed interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), motivational strategies, motivational therapy, somatic intervention strategies, behavioral intervention, and family systems work. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and designed to produce real results you can use outside of therapy.

Flexible Scheduling & Accessible Care

I have in-person and telehealth appointments, including evening and Saturdays. I make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Sessions are available in-person counseling in Rockwall/Fate, TX, or via secure video across Texas.
