Alexis Brown , LCSW

Alexis Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with seven years of professional experience. She brings lived experience with addiction to her work and focuses on helping people find their way into and through recovery.

Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Alexis works with concerns linked to pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, body image, eating and food-related issues, and drug and alcohol addiction. She aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.

Alexis emphasizes an authentic and genuine style. She invites clients to guide the direction of sessions and treats them as the experts on their own lives. Her approach centers on creating a nonjudgmental space so people can speak openly and feel accepted.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Alexis talks with clients about practical coping skills, ways to manage cravings and triggers, and strategies to reduce daily stress. She also supports people processing past trauma and the emotional effects of abuse.

People who choose her often want a direct, compassionate clinician who understands addiction from both lived and professional experience. Alexis aims to support clients through recovery work, emotional healing, and building stronger self-worth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach involves relapse prevention and recovery skills training - learning how to identify triggers, plan for high-risk moments, and build routines that support longer-term sobriety. This work helps with drug and alcohol addiction and related cravings.

She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process and reduce the everyday impact of past abuse or traumatic events. That often includes grounding exercises, pacing the work to what someone can handle, and building tools to manage intrusive memories and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexis collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, quick coping reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or recovery schedules.
