About Curllin

Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 025059) with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she works from New York.

Alexis focuses on problems people notice in daily life. She talks with clients about sleep, eating, work and career uncertainty, intimacy, and how past hurts affect current relationships. She also addresses caregiver strain, first responder stress, and the shame or guilt that can follow loss or conflict.

Her practice draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, practice coping skills, and try different ways of handling hard moments.

People who book with her can expect practical conversations about next steps rather than abstract theory. She lists compassion fatigue, abandonment, body image, communication problems, and immigration-related concerns among additional focus areas. The work often includes skill building, reflection, and planning small changes to daily routines.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, guided actions toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when someone feels unsure what to do next. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and recent relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then use methods that seem to fit. That may mean practicing cognitive techniques one week and working on values or relationship patterns the next; the choice is made together based on how sessions go.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so talking can happen around work or caregiving responsibilities. If you want to proceed, confirm the specific session formats available before booking by using the site button to view online therapy options. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to the online setting so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
