About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on anxiety and stress while helping young adults and their parents navigate big life transitions. Her manner is warm, direct, and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel clearer and more confident about next steps.
Lexy works with late adolescents and young adults on issues such as motivation, self-esteem, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports parents of emerging adults who are adjusting to changing relationships and boundaries. On a case-by-case basis she may see adults ages 35 to 64. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused techniques.
That mix helps people understand patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build small workable changes. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented while also opening space to reflect on deeper family and life-of-origin themes. Common concerns Lexy addresses include family problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, emptiness, and questions about life purpose.
She helps people practice self-love, forgiveness, and coping skills that fit daily life. Parents often come for guidance around communication and reconnecting with their young adult children. Lexy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match needs and then schedule sessions according to availability. Her California LMFT credential is listed as LMFT.
Approaches that translate to online care
Lexy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors that keep anxiety and stress going. CBT is hands-on and practical, often focusing on skills to use between sessions.She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at longer-standing patterns that come from family of origin and earlier relationships. That approach helps people understand where strong feelings come from and how past experiences shape present choices.
Solution-Focused Therapy rounds out her work by setting clear, short-term goals and finding immediate steps that make daily life easier. This approach is useful when clients want concrete progress in a few sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lexy will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
