About Curllin
Dr. Curllin Alexis is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 025059) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, eating, and sleeping.
She helps people facing career changes, depression, and big life transitions. She also addresses compassion fatigue and coaching-style concerns. Her background notes additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, first responder issues, and concerns like guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
In sessions she uses evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means conversations may include practical skill practice, attention to relationships and attachment patterns, and work on thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of everyday functioning.
People who come to her often want concrete steps to manage anxiety, improve communication, or move through grief. She also supports those coping with medical or end-of-life issues, immigration stress, or living with HIV/AIDS. The work tends to be collaborative and focused on real-life changes rather than abstract theory.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about work or relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It often includes homework and practical skills for mood, sleep, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Alexis will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as the work progresses.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets therapists and clients use in-session exercises, shared worksheets, or brief behavioral experiments between meetings to support progress without promising a specific result.
