About Curllin

Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She holds the NY Psychologist credential 025059 and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Her approach centers on listening carefully and guiding practical steps forward. Dr. Alexis focuses on everyday problems like sleep trouble, low self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, attention challenges, and intimacy-related concerns. Jealousy appears among the relationship issues she addresses when relevant to a client's goals. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way, test small changes, and build new coping skills. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and choose actions that fit their values. Attachment-based ideas and dialectical behavior therapy inform the way she talks about relationships and emotional regulation. That means she pays attention to how past connections shape current reactions and teaches practical strategies for managing intense feelings. Dr. Alexis also pays attention to social and workplace pressures, caregiver stress, and identity-related concerns. She works with people dealing with grief, end-of-life issues, immigration stress, and first responder strains. People who want clear steps, steady support, and a respectful listening space may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful when worry, avoidance, or low motivation block life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often helps with sleep problems, panic, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can be helpful for people struggling with trust, abandonment fears, or intense relationship reactions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what works and what does not. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer interruptions for travel, and the ability to keep regular check-ins during life transitions. Online sessions can also make it simpler to follow up after a crisis, practice skills between meetings, or fit shorter coaching-style check-ins into a busy week.
