About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a California LMFT with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges for late adolescents, young adults, and their parents.
Lexy works with people navigating the shift from adolescence into adulthood. She helps with motivation, confidence, and common mood struggles. Parents of emerging adults can expect practical guidance for changing relationships and communication patterns.
Her work blends straightforward conversation and careful listening. Sessions often include thinking through patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Lexy draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring family patterns.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and try concrete steps between meetings. That means the focus is often on what’s useful now and what can be tried next week. The balance of approaches changes with the person and the issue at hand.
Lexy typically sees late adolescents, young adults, and parents of those age groups, and she accepts some adult clients on a case-by-case basis. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the practical needs of each person. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Lexy uses therapy approaches online
Lexy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT can be useful for reducing anxiety and managing low mood by focusing on specific, testable steps.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating family patterns and how past relationships influence current reactions. That approach can help when family of origin issues or recurring conflicts feel stuck.
Solution-focused therapy is used to set short-term goals and try practical steps between sessions. The emphasis is on testing what works and adjusting plans quickly based on results.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lexy will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options and checks in regularly to refine the plan together.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
