Alexandra 'Alex' Yancey, LCMHC

Alexandra 'Alex' Yancey helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She works with LGBTQ people and others facing identity questions. Alex aims to make sessions a welcoming place to speak honestly and find direction.

Alex has nine years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. She approaches each person as an individual, listening for what matters most to them before deciding next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her work often addresses post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people dealing with veteran and armed forces issues and women’s concerns. Alex uses a mix of methods to match the needs of each person rather than a single technique.

Her methods draw on somatic work, cognitive behavioral strategies, reality-oriented techniques, and mindfulness. In practice that means noticing how the body reacts, learning small behavior changes, testing new ways of responding, and building simple daily habits that reduce distress.

Alex emphasizes collaboration in therapy. She helps people set clear goals, tries different approaches when needed, and adjusts pace to what the client finds helpful. Her aim is steady, manageable change that fits daily life and personal values.

Practical approaches and online therapy

Many of the methods Alex uses are straightforward and goal-oriented. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. These are useful when someone wants concrete steps and skills to try between sessions.

Somatic-informed work pays attention to how the body holds stress and trauma. This approach involves gentle tracking of physical sensations and simple exercises that can help reduce tension or grounding when distress is high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alex collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques make sense for their needs, goals, and pace. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods when something isn’t helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy fits daily life. Licensed professionals can use different ways of meeting people remotely, and Alex will discuss which option seems most practical for your situation.
