LPC, 3 years of experience
Welcome! I’m here to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together towards improving your life. I believe in offering personalized care and using a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, to support you in making positive changes. My goal is to be part of your support system, helping you build confidence, strengthen your coping skills, and create a life that aligns with your values. I have experience working with a wide range of clients, particularly those with dual diagnoses, and I am committed to guiding you toward a place where you feel satisfied and empowered in your own life.
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable environment where we’ll focus on getting to know each other. We’ll start by discussing your goals, challenges, and any concerns you may have, so I can better understand what brought you to therapy and how I can best support you. I’ll also explain my therapeutic approach and the different techniques I use, so you can feel confident in the process. The first session is an opportunity to build trust and create a roadmap for your journey, ensuring we’re aligned on the steps ahead and that you feel heard and understood.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. I’m deeply empathetic and strive to understand each person’s unique situation, which helps me tailor my approach to fit their needs. Additionally, my experience with a variety of clients, especially those with dual diagnoses, has helped me develop strong skills in managing complex challenges and using evidence-based techniques to guide clients toward positive change. I’m committed to being a supportive partner in their journey and empowering them to make lasting improvements in their lives.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are navigating challenges related to mental health, substance use, or dual diagnoses. I work well with individuals who are open to exploring their thoughts and behaviors, whether they're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a combination of mental health and substance use concerns. I also thrive with clients who are ready to make positive changes but may feel uncertain about how to begin, and I offer a supportive, collaborative environment to help them reach their goals. My approach is tailored to each individual’s needs, helping them build practical coping skills, improve self-awareness, and work toward lasting growth and stability.

Articulated themselves very well, listened to what I had to say and also challenged my way of thinking with a multitude of questions to drill down into things. Will be booking another session.

Lexus was very kind & had an open ear to see where we can go to improvement my goals.
Lexus Arvanis offers therapy covered by Husky Health and Medicaid in Connecticut.
I mainly utilize a goal-oriented treatment that helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
I help couples understand each other's needs, improve their communication, and strengthen their emotional connection. This process can lead to healthier relationships, deeper intimacy, and better conflict resolution skills.
I also provide a client-centered therapy that helps you explore and resolve any ambivalence about making positive changes in your life. It empowers you to find your own motivation and build confidence in your ability to make lasting changes, improving your overall well-being.
When necessary I can also provide SFBT to help you set clear goals, identify your strengths, and quickly work towards positive change, making it a time-efficient way to improve your life and well-being.
