About Alexandra
Alexandra "Lexy" Spett is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of experience. She works with late adolescents, young adults, and parents to address stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting questions, and changes in self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use now to feel steadier and more clear about next moves.
Lexy helps people untangle patterns that come from their family of origin and from growing up. She listens for recurring roles and expectations that still affect relationships and choices. Then she helps clients notice options and try new ways of relating that fit their current life.
Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral ideas, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused work. That means conversations will cover current thinking and behavior, earlier family influences, and clear short-term goals. Clients often leave with specific strategies to manage anxiety, handle parenting transitions, or set healthier boundaries.
Lexy has two decades of practice guiding young people through the shift to adulthood. She also sees adults on a case-by-case basis. Many parents consult her to handle the changing relationship with their emerging adult and to reduce conflict while keeping connection.
Practical matters such as cost and session logistics vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lexy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT is practical and can help with anxiety, low mood, and building better day-to-day habits.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early family relationships shape current responses. This perspective helps when someone wants to understand repeated patterns that began in childhood.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and try small experiments between sessions. That approach is helpful for parents navigating changing relationships with their young adult or for anyone who wants quick, actionable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lexy will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust as needed.
