Alexis Bahnmaier, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with over 17 years of experience supporting people who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. I also specialize in helping individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community work through the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, and identity, as well as the social prejudices and anxieties that can come up with family, friends, and workplaces.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University, and I use a warm, interactive, and highly client-centered counseling style. I focus on treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without using stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, and other holistic techniques. I focus on tailoring sessions and treatment plans to meet your unique, specific needs. I’m a firm believer that therapy should guide and support you at your own pace. I know it takes courage to seek support for a more fulfilling, happier life, and to take the first steps toward positive change.
