About Alexis
Alexis Tyson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship pain. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward: she listens, helps identify what gets in the way, and works with clients to make practical changes.
Alexis draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Narrative Therapy to give clients space to tell their stories and see how those stories shape daily life.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that add up to real change. Her style is human-centered and down-to-earth.
She aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can name what’s hard and plan next steps. Parents worried about mood changes, someone facing grief, or a person managing stress and substance use will find practical tools here. Alexis has worked across issues such as bipolar disorder, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, LGBT-related stress, anger, and career shifts.
She also supports veterans and people affected by sexual assault and abuse, helping them build coping skills and goals for the future. Therapy with Alexis is a team effort. She helps people set realistic goals, try new strategies, and track progress.
If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and focuses on usable change, she offers a clear, compassionate path forward.

Online session options
How narrative and focused approaches work online
Alexis draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. This approach helps when patterns of thinking or past events keep showing up in daily life and relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and taking concrete steps toward them while learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings.Both approaches aim to make small, meaningful changes rather than promise quick fixes. Alexis approaches choice of method as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try approaches together, and adjust based on what works best for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow live interaction similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer voice-only contact. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coping moments, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to maintain consistent work toward goals.
