About Alexis

Alexis Brown is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with seven years of professional experience. She lists work in addiction support and also helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Alexis writes that she has lived experience with addiction and draws on that background in her practice.

She has done a lot of work in the field of addiction support and helps people move toward recovery. She also supports those coping with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and difficulties with eating or body image. Other areas Alexis addresses include domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Alexis says she works in an authentic and genuine way and lets clients guide the work, treating people as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on practical conversation and on building strategies that fit each person’s daily life. She aims to reduce judgment so people can speak openly about what they are carrying.

Because she names lived experience with addiction, Alexis brings both professional and personal perspective to conversations about recovery and relapse prevention. She combines that background with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.

People who come to Alexis often want straightforward help with coping skills, clearer thinking about substance use, or support after trauma or childbirth. To begin, she asks people to describe what feels most pressing and then helps shape the next steps together.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Alexis works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, mood, and trauma-related problems. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and relapse prevention strategies; this involves identifying triggers, building step-by-step plans, and practicing real-world responses to cravings or setbacks. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic events and their emotional impact through focused, structured conversation aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis says she lets clients help guide the work and will discuss which methods feel most useful given a person’s goals, history, and preferences. She will adjust plans over time based on what is or isn’t working.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between other commitments.
