Alexis BrownLCSW

Alexis Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of practice in Oregon. She brings personal experience with addiction to her work and uses that perspective to relate to people seeking recovery. Alexis aims to make the first step less intimidating and to meet people where they are in their journey.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with body image, eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues. Her background includes substantial work supporting people through substance use concerns.

Alexis describes her style as authentic and genuine. She centers the person in the room and follows the client's lead when setting goals. In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and feel accepted.

Her experience includes both professional practice and lived experience with addiction. That combination shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs.

Seeking help can feel risky and uncertain. Alexis emphasizes that it takes courage and that people are worth the effort. She offers steady support and works collaboratively so clients can build confidence, manage symptoms, and make meaningful changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery support. One approach she commonly uses emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to manage symptoms and increase daily functioning. Another approach centers on addiction recovery work, combining relapse prevention strategies with discussion of triggers, routines, and practical steps toward sobriety and healthier habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis works with clients to identify goals, test different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She treats clients as partners and follows their lead while offering guidance from her clinical and lived experience.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing appointments during breaks, and enabling consistent weekly check-ins. It also offers flexibility for shorter or more frequent sessions when that better supports progress.
