About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a California LMFT with 24 years of clinical experience working with young adults and their parents. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and the upheaval that often comes with major life changes.
Lexy works with people in their late teens and twenties on practical problems like leaving home, starting college or work, and feeling stuck. She also takes some adult clients on a case-by-case basis. Conversations are straightforward and aim to clarify next steps rather than pile on jargon.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions look at current thoughts and behaviors, past relational patterns that still affect daily life, and short-term strategies to make immediate changes.
With parents of emerging adults she focuses on improving communication and adjusting boundaries as roles shift. She helps parents identify what they can influence and what they can let go of, while keeping the conversation practical and goal oriented.
Lexy asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she is not accepting international clients at this time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lexy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes; this work is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and building healthier routines. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring relationship patterns and early family influences that still affect decisions today. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to concrete steps and short-term goals to create changes you can notice quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses based on what feels most helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps you focus. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques for video or phone meetings so therapeutic tasks and goal-setting still move forward without requiring an in-person visit.
