"Be the change you want to see in the world" quote by Ghandi stands out to me when I think about how I want to make an impact in other's lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. With years of experience in mental health services, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), crisis intervention, and case management. My approach focuses on creating a supportive and empowering environment where clients can gain insight, develop coping strategies, and build stronger relationships.

Alexis Rizzo

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I believe change begins with understanding ourselves with compassion and curiosity. When we become more aware of our thoughts, emotions, and patterns, we create space for new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. Together, we can explore the challenges you’re facing, build on your strengths, and develop the tools you need to move forward with greater confidence, self-acceptance, and resilience.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care. My approach is client-centered, emphasizing a partnership where clients feel cared for, valued, and respected.

I believe healing & growth begin in a space where we feel safe enough to be honest, understood enough to feel supported, & accepted enough to be ourselves.Through compassion, respect, and acceptance, I strive to create that space for my clients. Together, we can explore life’s challenges, uncover your strengths, & develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

I've been a Social Worker since 2nd grade-always first in line to give a hug, support friends, and share snacks. In college, I took "Intro to Social Work", and I've never looked back. My career officially started in Addictions, and with my post-graduate studies in Structural Family Therapy, I've honed in my therapeutic skills. I've worked in a variety of settings, most recently as a Veterinary Social Worker. Logic, humor, and animals (preferably dogs!) are the cornerstone tools of my work.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
