Alexis Brown

Alexis Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with seven years of practice. She brings both professional and personal experience with addiction to her work. Alexis aims to make it easier to start hard conversations and to stay engaged through recovery and life changes.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions, and also helps people dealing with trauma, postpartum mood concerns, and eating and food-related issues. Alexis uses a direct, honest style and encourages people to lead the pace and focus of sessions. She writes that people are the experts on their own lives and that her role is to listen, reflect, and offer practical options.

In sessions Alexis keeps language plain and goals realistic. She works to build a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere so people can talk about shame, guilt, body image, or substance use without feeling criticized. The first steps often include clarifying priorities and choosing small, doable changes to try between meetings.

Her background includes substantial work in addiction support and helping people through major life transitions such as pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. Alexis draws on that experience to support coping, relapse prevention planning, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

People who reach out to Alexis can expect a collaborative, person-led process. She emphasizes authenticity and steady support, and she helps people find practical strategies to manage mood, reduce urges, and rebuild self-esteem over time.

Approaches that guide online work

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and recovery. One common approach emphasizes coping skills and relapse prevention for substance use, teaching steps to manage cravings, plan for high-risk moments, and rebuild routines that support recovery. Another approach focuses on mood and anxiety management through skills such as breathing, behavioral activation, and breaking tasks into smaller steps to reduce overwhelm and lift mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. Alexis will collaborate with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress unfolds. Treatment decisions are made together based on how well strategies are working for the individual.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins between major life events. It also lets people continue care through pregnancy, early parenting, or moves without changing therapists, while keeping focus on practical steps that translate into everyday life.
