About Curllin

Dr. Curllin Alexis is a licensed psychologist practicing in New York who has built a clinical practice over six years supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and broader life changes.

Background and approach

She holds the credential NY Psychologist 025059 and brings a thoughtful, evidence-informed perspective to sessions while attending to each person's cultural background and lived experience. Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical skills, combining approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address concerns like self-esteem, communication problems, impulsivity, and coping with loss.

Dr. Alexis additionally focuses on issues that include addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue, tailoring interventions to what an individual needs in the moment.

Clients can expect a respectful, client-centered stance that balances exploration with concrete strategies for change. She aims to foster greater self-understanding, build resilience, and support career or personal transitions while acknowledging the influence of cultural and workplace contexts on wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms like low mood, worry, and sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early connection styles to improve communication, intimacy, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will happen collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques from different modalities, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer so that therapy aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit therapy into varied schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during work or life transitions and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills practice, and ongoing coaching in accessible ways.
