Restorative therapy grounded in social context

About Alexis

Alexis Jordan is an LMFT with 12 years of clinical experience based in Illinois. She focuses on helping people address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes increasing awareness of internal barriers and supporting clients as they develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Alexis integrates attention to sociocultural factors into therapy, aiming to help clients build a more complete and empowering personal narrative.

She draws on evidence-based techniques to treat symptoms of mental illness and to address the impacts of childhood trauma. Her approach also includes mediation work around divorce and co-parenting, and support for people preparing for marriage or recovering from domestic violence.

Throughout her practice, Alexis seeks to guide clients toward greater functioning and resilience while honoring each person’s background and values. She speaks English and provides care through multiple online formats to make therapy accessible across schedules and locations within Illinois.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom reduction and rebuilding day-to-day functioning. One common approach involves trauma-informed interventions that help people process past harm, reduce reactivity, and develop coping skills for anxiety and depression. Another central emphasis is skills-based work to manage stress and bolster self-esteem, teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and strengthen emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, then tailors interventions to fit those needs. She reviews options with each person so they can make informed decisions about techniques and pacing as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Alexis is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats let clients meet from home or other convenient locations and make it easier to maintain consistency across busy schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based methods to work effectively through these remote options, allowing the therapeutic work to continue even when in-person visits are not possible.
