About Alexandra

Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT with 24 years of experience. She works with late adolescents (16-19), young adults (20-30), and parents of emerging adults to address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Lexy also notes she sees adults aged 35-64 on a case-by-case basis.

Lexy focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. She talks through family conflict, parenting strain, and issues that come from family of origin. Sessions also address feelings of emptiness, isolation, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused work. That mix supports both thinking skills and looking at patterns that repeat over time. Clients can expect direct, honest feedback and concrete steps to try between sessions.

With parents of emerging adults, Lexy offers guidance aimed at improving communication and adjusting boundaries as young people gain independence. She frames problems in everyday terms and works to make changes that are realistic for family life.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Lexy uses therapeutic approaches online

Lexy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to address what's happening now and where patterns come from. CBT focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior that reduce stress and anxiety. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship and family patterns that can affect self-esteem and motivation.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set short-term goals and try small experiments between sessions. That approach is useful when someone wants concrete steps to test and adjust quickly. Choosing an approach is collaborative - Lexy works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on a single path.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. These practical benefits help people work therapy into everyday life while they sort out next steps.
