About Alexis

Alexis Bates is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and life changes. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical ways to feel steadier and more in control. She combines attention to the body with talk-based work.

Sessions often include breath awareness, gentle body-based exercises, and talk to notice how emotions show up in the body. The goal is to reduce reactivity and build steady responses to hard moments.

Background and approach

Alexis draws on attachment ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the present. These methods are used together to make change that feels real in day-to-day life.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience in Colorado. She holds LCSW, which means she is a licensed clinical social worker, and CSW. That experience informs her practical focus on coping skills, self-esteem, and relationships.

Clients commonly bring concerns like stress, social anxiety, relationship strain, and questions about life purpose or self-love. Alexis aims to help people build resilience and clearer choices so they can move forward with more confidence and calm.

Online support

How somatic and attachment work online

Alexis uses somatic work and attachment-based ideas to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies and relationships. Somatic Therapy focuses on body sensations and simple grounding skills to reduce overwhelm and improve resilience. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they shape current reactions, helping people develop more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether mindfulness, body-focused exercises, or attachment exploration feels most useful. That choice is guided by the client's goals, comfort, and daily life needs, and can shift as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and body awareness work, phone can fit into a busy day, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins or for practicing skills between sessions. These options let people access care around work, school, or caregiving schedules and keep consistent progress even when travel or time is limited.
