About Alexis
Alexis Harbison is a licensed counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She sees each person as the expert on their life story and builds on what already works for them.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Alexis helps people identify small steps they can take between meetings to feel steadier and more capable. Her work also addresses communication problems, guilt, shame, and finding life purpose.
She supports people processing post-traumatic stress and mood-related concerns. Conversations can include exploring what matters most, practicing new ways to cope, and repairing relationships with oneself. Alexis draws on evidence-based techniques to guide treatment choices, matching methods to a person's needs and goals.
She prioritizes respect, patience, and realistic planning rather than quick fixes. Many clients find the pace helpful because it focuses on doable changes. To start, Alexis asks people to reflect on their goals and strengths so sessions feel relevant from the first meeting.
She encourages steady progress and adjusts plans if something isn’t working. Her approach aims to make therapy manageable and directly useful in everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage symptoms and rebuild daily functioning. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood problems; this involves learning breathing, grounding, and problem-solving techniques to use when feeling overwhelmed.She also uses trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult memories at a pace they can tolerate. This typically means pacing conversations, building safety and stability skills, and gradually working through painful material when the client feels ready.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose techniques that fit the person’s lifestyle and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face dialogue and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text sessions allow ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and daily life.
