Hi, I’m Lexi. I’m an LCPC licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania with five years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotional patterns. I work from a compassion-focused, relational approach, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels supportive and grounded. While everyone’s story is different, my goal is to help clients better understand their inner world, reduce distress, and feel more connected to themselves and their lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My clients can expect a low-pressure environment during our first session. It is of the utmost importance to me that you are comfortable and can remain in your window of tolerance enough to share what is bringing you to therapy. I will be there to walk alongside you and probe gently, but I will never ask for too much, as it is up to you what you would like to share with me. My main focus in our first session will be building trust and establishing a space where you feel validated and heard.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I place a strong emphasis on creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and attuned. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, helping clients better understand the thoughts, emotions, and internal patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel supported enough to explore these patterns while also learning new ways to respond to themselves with greater clarity and self-trust.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or obsessive or repetitive thought patterns who are curious about understanding themselves on a deeper level. Many of my clients have tried other therapeutic approaches and are looking for a more thoughtful, relational way to explore the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Together, we focus on how past experiences may inform present-day responses, while prioritizing practical relief, insight, and sustainable change.
EMDR
I am fully trained in EMDR and have completed advanced trainings to deepen my use of this approach. I use EMDR with clients who want to better understand and shift long-standing patterns related to anxiety, depression, or persistent negative beliefs about themselves. EMDR can be helpful for processing past experiences that continue to influence present-day emotional responses, as well as reducing the intensity of distressing thoughts or reactions. I often integrate parts-based and somatic approaches to support emotional safety, pacing, and a more grounded therapeutic experience.
Relational
I use relational therapies to highlight the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for healing attachment wounds. This may look like exploring how our relationship feels session to session, or holding open dialogue about what you may need more or less of within the therapeutic relationship.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I often use a parts-based approach to support clients in exploring the different “parts” of themselves that hold specific feelings, fears, needs, or beliefs. Instead of trying to push those parts away, we get curious about where they come from, what they’re protecting, and what they need.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), which is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients struggling with OCD and persistent doubt. This approach focuses on understanding how the mind moves from uncertainty to obsession, rather than trying to control or suppress thoughts. Together, we work to identify faulty reasoning patterns, strengthen trust in lived experience, and reduce the grip of obsessive thinking in a way that feels respectful and collaborative.
