About Alexa

Alexa Argianas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Caseworker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and codependency. She also supports people facing addiction, caregiving strain, and family of origin issues.

Alexa uses practical, skills-based work to address what is happening now. She blends cognitive and behavioral strategies so clients can reframe unhelpful thoughts and practice new responses. Sessions often include concrete skill practice aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day coping.

Her background includes significant experience with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking, and she draws on approaches that address trauma-related reactions. As a Certified Social Caseworker she also helps people identify and connect with internal and external resources that support change.

Therapy with Alexa centers on partnership and clear expectations. She checks in with clients to set goals and then tracks progress toward those goals. Clients can expect a mix of validation, direct feedback, and practical steps to try between sessions.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling lost in relationships may find the focus and skills work helpful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to match their needs.

How sessions work

How Alexa applies therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Alexa helps clients notice how they relate to others, how they seek connection, and how those patterns affect boundaries and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it gives clear tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Alexa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She revisits plans as progress is made and adjusts the focus based on what is helping most.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer barriers to attending a short check-in. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work still centers on skill practice, reflection, and between-session tasks that can be used in everyday life.
