Getting to know Alexis Kuney

My name is Alexis Kuney, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, providing telehealth services to clients statewide. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. I work with individuals and couples facing major life changes, relational discord, substance abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I specialize in supporting survivors of domestic violence, childhood trauma, and adult children of alcoholics. Additionally, I assist parents and children involved in high-conflict custody disputes, helping them navigate the complexities of family court. My approach is collaborative, focusing on understanding each client's underlying needs and strengths to help them reach their full potential. I guide clients in challenging negative core beliefs, anger, guilt, and pain that keep them stuck in maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples dealing with challenges arising from major life transitions, trauma, and relational stress. These often present as behavioral issues in children and depression, anxiety, or substance abuse in teens and adults. I help clients develop healthier habits and coping skills to manage difficult situations. I take special care in fostering self-compassion, setting boundaries, resolving conflicts, repairing relationships, and strengthening emotional intelligence. I also pride myself on being sex-positive and understanding the unique needs of individuals and couples navigating non-heteronormative relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed and hopeless coping with life's challenges, it can be helpful to have someone calm, supportive, and empathetic to listen and provide guidance.
