About Alexia

Alexia Pilleris is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience. She uses a narrative-informed approach to help people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. Alexia talks plainly and listens closely so people can find clearer ways forward.

She focuses on everyday problems that pile up - low self-esteem, trouble communicating, feeling isolated, or sudden life changes. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems in place and then try small, practical steps to shift them.

Background and approach

Alexia often blends client-centered ideas with cognitive tools to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving. Her work also addresses mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and she supports those managing anger, career strain, or compassion fatigue. When addiction is part of the picture, she uses motivational strategies to help people consider change at their own pace.

Her approach recognizes cultural and multicultural concerns as part of each person’s story. Alexia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

People who want a conversational, collaborative style may find her helpful. She encourages curiosity about personal stories and works alongside clients to find workable changes. If someone feels ready to begin, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online session options

How narrative and online methods work together

Alexia draws on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online care. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and testing new, more helpful narratives. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, which supports a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about goals and struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with panic or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexia collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on goals, preferences, and daily life. She may combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches specific concerns like addiction, communication problems, or career stress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or school commitments.
