Getting to know Vicki Alexander-Hess

Hi there, I'm Vicki! My name is Vicki Alexander-Hess. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, CA. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, loss, relationships, and self-harm. I am passionate about helping my clients identify the challenges they are facing and better understand and navigate their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors toward a goal of healing, confidence, and success. My approach My approach depends on the needs of the clients but often includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to help clients make the changes they want in their lives. My focus I find my style fits well with young adult and middle-aged adults who are experiencing problems due to stress at work or home, early trauma, loss, relationship problems, and coping with life transitions. My communication style My communication style is calm, honest, casual, and compassionate. I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable discussing both their challenges and successes. My journey to mental healthcare I have always known that I wanted to be in the helping field and serve others in the capacity of healing and achieving their goals. My goals for you My approach is to work together to identify goals you want to achieve through the therapeutic process. I work with clients to identify what they want to improve in their life and then develop steps toward that goal. My first session with you In our first session, you can expect us to spend most of the time discussing how you are feeling, what you want to get from therapy, and your goals. I will ask some general questions to better connect with you and understand who you are as a person.
