Alexandra "Lexy" Spett , LMFT

Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of practice in California. Lexy focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and the big life changes that come with growing up. She works with late adolescents and young adults and also guides parents trying to adjust to shifting relationships.

Lexy uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort out what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that get in the way. She blends techniques to address mood, motivation, and confidence so clients can try new behaviors and notice what changes.

Parents who are worried about relationships with emerging adults can expect guidance aimed at improving communication and rebuilding trust. Lexy helps parents set boundaries, manage worry, and connect in ways that respect both independence and family ties.

Her approach also attends to deeper sources of struggle like family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Those concerns are addressed with both present-focused problem solving and attention to longer-term patterns that repeat across relationships.

Lexy offers sessions that meet people where they are and emphasize small, achievable steps. She invites a collaborative process that names strengths, sets clear goals, and adjusts the plan as needed so clients can move toward greater purpose and self-love.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is helpful for stress, low motivation, and mood challenges. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat from past relationships and brings them into awareness so people can make different choices; this can help with family of origin issues and feelings of emptiness. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and the strengths a person already has, making it useful for short-term goals and managing life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lexy will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit. Together they will track what works, adjust the plan over time, and focus on practical changes that matter most to the client.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and body language help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions let people fit short check-ins into a busy day or keep a written record of thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain momentum while juggling school, work, or family responsibilities.
