Lexie Beckstrand

I’m Lexie Beckstrand, a licensed mental health professional (LPC) in D.C. and Virginia. I graduated from Marymount University in 2020, and have over six years of clinical experience. I completed my residency at Over the Rainbow, LLC- a private practice in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia region which specializes in mental health care for first responders.

I work primarily as an individual therapist for adults. I have worked in partnership with my clients through many stressors, including anxiety, complex grief, depression, Post-Traumatic and Acute Stress, adjustment to significant life-changes, domestic abuse, challenging and/or unhealthy family dynamics, couples issues, exploration of gender and sexuality, and crisis management. I feel strongly about incorporating evidence-based interventions in my practice, and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques as a supplement to my psychodynamic and client-centered approach to therapy.

Every client is complex, and unique. With simple tools like patience, non-judgment and curiosity, together we have the ability to untangle and reweave the strands that come together to create the complex and unique self.

In our first session, I want to get to know you. I prefer to complete a comprehensive bio/psycho/social interview. I find that having a solid structure for the beginning of a therapeutic relationship provides a foundation for exploratory work down the road- and it gives us an opportunity to identify some areas for discussion.
