About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Lexy works with late adolescents (16-19), young adults (20-30), and their parents, and she sometimes sees adults aged 35-64 on a case-by-case basis.
Lexy helps people sort through practical problems and emotional patterns. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on clear steps clients can try between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, understand relationship patterns, and test new ways of responding.
With parents of emerging adults she offers guidance on shifting roles and improving communication. Conversations often include ways to set boundaries, reduce reactivity, and rebuild connection as young people gain independence. She supports young adults around motivation, self-esteem, and getting unstuck from patterns that feel limiting.
Her approach is direct and straightforward. She aims to map problems clearly and set small, manageable goals. That can mean trying short exercises in session and reviewing what worked at the next visit.
Lexy describes the work as collaborative. She helps clients identify strengths, experiment with different responses, and adjust plans based on what actually helps. People who prefer practical, structured sessions tend to find this approach useful.
How Lexy integrates CBT and psychodynamic ideas in remote work
Lexy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - recognizing thought patterns, trying different responses, and tracking what changes. Psychodynamic therapy is used to look at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that shape current reactions, helping people see why certain issues repeat. Solution-Focused Therapy adds brief goal-setting and practical steps to move forward quickly.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lexy works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will review progress and shift tactics when something isn’t helping, so the plan stays practical and focused on achievable steps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio options that suit their comfort level or bandwidth, and make scheduling around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities more feasible. Talk with her during the intake to confirm how she currently conducts sessions and to choose the format that will fit your routine.
