Alexis Skopos, LMHC

Alexis Skopos is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who offers straightforward, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or major life changes. She aims to create a space where clients can be honest without judgment and can use humor, compassion, and challenge to move toward clearer goals.

Alexis works with relationship concerns alongside issues like self-esteem, coping with life transitions, and the effects of past abuse. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and recovery from substance-related issues. Her practice includes attention to sexuality and women’s issues as well.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Stetson University. Alexis has eight years of experience and has worked in residential settings, crisis units, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. She lists Brainspotting among approaches she uses and notes trauma-informed methods in her work.

Alexis describes her therapeutic stance as collaborative and character-focused, inspired by the Greek idea of sophrosyne - finding balance and a sense of control in life. She encourages clients to explore creativity and self-expression as part of growth. Sessions are offered in English and take place in Florida.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Alexis uses evidence-based techniques like Brainspotting and trauma-informed cognitive and acceptance strategies to help people process distress and regain control. Brainspotting aims to access and release stored emotional pain by focusing on where the body holds tension, which can help with trauma and lingering distress. Trauma-informed cognitive and acceptance approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and make small changes that reduce avoidance and increase functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will work with each person to find which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She encourages trying options and adjusting the plan based on what helps most over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allowing people to meet from wherever works for them and reduce travel time. It can also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that feels better. Because the site’s session formats are not specified here, confirm the available session options before booking to find what best fits your routine.
