About Alexa

Alexa Argianas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with eight years of experience working with teens and adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses addictions, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, and career-related stress.

Argianas uses cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She pairs those techniques with attachment-focused approaches and client-centered methods to address patterns that come from relationships and family history. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills practice alongside reflection on emotional patterns.

Her background includes work with primary and secondary victims of childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking. She also lists experience with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and post-traumatic stress. These experiences inform how she structures short-term skill work and longer-term emotional processing.

As a certified social caseworker (CSW), she helps clients navigate internal and external resources when that is useful to their goals. She combines skills training from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and practical problem-solving to reduce distress and strengthen coping. Alexa and a client work together to set clear goals and plan manageable steps toward them.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and straightforward feedback. Clients can expect a mix of skill practice, exploration of relationship patterns, and concrete planning to address daily challenges and longer-standing concerns.

How CBT and Attachment Work in Remote Sessions

Alexa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that increase anxiety and depression, then practices small behavioral changes to test new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions, which can help with trust, codependency, or family problems. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation directed by the person, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities rather than dictating the agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that match those aims. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts based on what helps the client make progress and feel more in control of daily challenges.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions convenient for regular skill practice and planning around caregiving, school, or work obligations.
