Alexis Skopos, LMHC

Alexis Skopos is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who aims to be relatable and down-to-earth. She creates a space where people can talk honestly about anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her style blends warmth, humor, and gentle challenge so clients feel heard and encouraged to try new ways of coping.

Alexis holds a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Stetson University and has about eight years of clinical experience. She has worked in residential units, crisis settings, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. That background informs a practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy.

She brings a trauma-informed lens to her work and pays close attention to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Alexis also supports people navigating issues like addiction, domestic violence, immigration-related stress, infidelity, sexuality, and finding life purpose. Her perspective is informed by personal and cultural values, including her Greek heritage.

Alexis is passionate about LGBTQIA and sex-positive communities, body acceptance, and those healing from domestic violence. She emphasizes creativity and self-expression as parts of wellbeing, and she encourages clients to use imagination and practical tools to regain a sense of control.

Outside of work she enjoys candle making, resin art, makeup, tattoos, swimming, and spending time in nature. Her approach centers on helping people build a more balanced life so they feel less overwhelmed and more able to steer their own course.

Approaches that guide online work and healing

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to trauma, relationships, and life transitions. One approach she frequently draws on is trauma-informed cognitive behavioral strategies, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavioral steps to reduce distress. This can help with anxiety, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and stress management.

She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas, which encourage noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and taking small actions that match personal values. That approach can be useful when someone is trying to regain direction after big life changes or relationship ruptures.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist adjust strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels doable.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use a therapist's support while keeping their care consistent through life transitions.
