About Avery

Avery Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings five years of practice to her work in Utah. She began by volunteering with nonprofit organizations and mentoring in community centers, and that community focus shapes how she approaches care. Avery aims to help people feel seen and to build practical tools for day-to-day life.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a counseling focus from Northeastern University in Boston. She then completed a Master of Social Work at Simmons College. Those programs helped her develop hands-on skills for helping people manage stress and overwhelming moods.

Avery prefers a straightforward, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name what's not working. From there she works together with each person to try small, doable changes that can make daily life easier.

Her work commonly addresses anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood concerns, grief, trauma and stress-related issues, and substance use. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, sleep problems, attention-related challenges, anger, and body image concerns.

In session she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are woven into conversations so people leave with clear steps and coping strategies they can use between sessions.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Avery uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people navigate everyday struggles. Client-centered work means she begins by listening closely and following each person's priorities, helping people feel understood and shaping goals together. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy, which offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. These techniques are useful for people dealing with mood swings, strong anger, or patterns that cause repeated stress. The therapist will talk with each person about which approaches might help most and adjust plans as needs and goals change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a busy schedule, makes it easier to check in between appointments, and can reduce travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or let you keep sessions shorter to match a break at work. Discuss practical preferences with the therapist so sessions can be arranged to fit daily life.
