About Alexis
Alexis Harbison is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Alexis also focuses on issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love.
She frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent, and helps people notice small, practical changes they can try between meetings. She aims to make the work straightforward and focused on what matters to the client.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work in Ohio. That time has involved supporting people after loss, addressing symptoms related to trauma, and helping with motivation and confidence. Alexis draws on methods that have evidence behind them to guide the work without relying on jargon.
When someone brings guilt or shame into the room she helps them name the feeling and track how it shows up in day-to-day life. Conversations tend to include clear steps for managing painful thoughts, improving communication, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth.
Signing up for therapy is described as a courageous first step. Alexis asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so they can begin setting joint goals.
Approaches you can expect and how online work fits
Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in simple, clear ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. That kind of work helps when guilt or harsh self-judgment keeps someone stuck. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing trauma-related symptoms - learning ways to notice triggers, practice grounding, and rebuild a sense of safety in daily routines.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will listen to what has and hasn’t helped before, discuss options, and together decide which techniques to try based on the client’s needs and goals. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Therapists and licensed professionals generally use the online setting to focus on turning insights into actions that fit a person’s everyday routine.
