About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett uses a blend of practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience practicing in California.
Background and approach
Lexy speaks English and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for everyday problems. Lexy often meets with late adolescents and young adults, and she also works with some adults on a case-by-case basis.
She focuses on concerns like self-esteem, motivation, mood shifts, and the strain that comes with changing family roles. Parents of emerging adults can find guidance on shifting relationships and how to stay connected during transitions.
Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused work so sessions are both reflective and practical. That means clients talk about what matters, learn ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and set small goals that build forward momentum.
Sessions are meant to be direct but warm. Lexy aims to name patterns, practice new skills, and help people try different ways of coping between visits.
She will tailor the pace and focus to each person’s needs. Common concerns she addresses include family of origin issues, loneliness, guilt and shame, life purpose, forgiveness, and women’s issues.
Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where strengths are noticed and used to move toward clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Lexy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to make online sessions practical and goal oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and quick strategies to move toward specific goals, making it useful for people who want concrete progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lexy will talk with each person about their goals, previous experience with therapy, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or busy family schedules.
