About Alexis

Alexis Bates is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or life changes. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable for people who need practical tools and steady support. Her approach centers on the body as well as the mind.

She draws on somatic techniques to help clients notice physical signs of stress and learn simple ways to calm their nervous system.

Background and approach

That often means short grounding practices in-session and homework that can be used during a hard moment. Alexis also uses Attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current patterns. She helps clients name those patterns, try new behaviors, and build more supported ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions aim to create space for new responses rather than replaying old ones. Internal Family Systems and mindfulness work show up in her practice, too. Those methods help people identify inner parts, soften self-criticism, and practice present-moment noticing.

The focus is on small, concrete shifts that add up over time. She brings four years of experience in Colorado and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW. Alexis structures sessions to be straightforward and useful, with tools people can apply between meetings to handle stress, boost self-esteem, and move toward clearer purpose.

Online support

How attachment and somatic work translate online

Alexis commonly blends Attachment-based Therapy and Somatic Therapy to help people reduce anxiety and feel more grounded. Attachment-based work focuses on noticing relationship patterns and trying new ways of connecting with oneself and others to reduce reactivity. Somatic Therapy teaches simple body-based skills - like breathing, grounding, and tracking sensations - that reduce nervous system activation and help people act from calm instead of stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods in-session, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they decide which tools fit the client’s life and move at a comfortable pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days and different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client work through body-focused exercises visually, while phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or lower-bandwidth days. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short reflections, between-session support, and quick coping reminders. These options make it easier to use therapy when it matters most and to practice new skills in real time.
