About Alexis
Alexis Bates is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps adults who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with people struggling with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Alexis aims to make therapy practical and approachable so clients can use skills between sessions.
Her style blends attention to the body and to patterns of relating. She uses somatic practices to help people notice and regulate physical responses to stress.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current fears and relationship habits. Alexis also uses mindfulness to build calm and present-moment awareness. Sessions often include simple breathing and grounding exercises that can be repeated at home.
Clients learn tools for self-soothing and for stepping back from automatic anxious thoughts. She has four years of experience in holistic mental health and describes her work as mind, body, and soul focused. That background informs support for people managing chronic pain, illness, and disability alongside mental health concerns.
Alexis is trained to work with social anxiety, phobia, young adult issues, women’s concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people identify small, manageable steps toward more ease and confidence. To begin, she asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and to practice a few simple skills between visits.
Over time the goal is calmer reactions, clearer priorities, and a stronger sense of self.
How attachment and body-focused work translates online
Alexis draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current worries and reactions. That work often involves talking through patterns of connection and practicing new ways of relating that can reduce anxiety and improve trust.She also uses somatic practices to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. Those practices include simple grounding, breath work, and movement awareness that can be guided over video or adapted to phone and text check-ins. These tools aim to calm the nervous system and make emotions easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She collaborates with each person to figure out what methods feel most helpful, and she adjusts techniques to match goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress together and try different skills until a good fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. Video lets the therapist observe body cues and guide exercises, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing between-session work. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep practice consistent.
