Alexis Skopos

Alexis Skopos is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and life changes. She aims to create a down-to-earth space where clients feel heard, not judged. Alexis blends warmth, humor, and direct feedback so people can make progress without feeling lectured.

Her work often centers on women's issues and concerns like self-esteem, attachment and codependency, and recovery after abuse. She also supports people dealing with addiction, immigration stress, infidelity, and the search for life purpose. Alexis has particular experience with post-traumatic stress and a sex-positive, LGBTQIA-affirming outlook.

Alexis trained at Stetson University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. Her background includes work in residential settings, crisis units, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. That variety informs a practical style that fits different life situations.

She names ancient Greek ideas about balance as part of her outlook, encouraging clients to regain a sense of control and steady their daily lives. Creative self-expression is also part of her approach, and she often invites clients to use imagination and activities that bring joy.

Outside work she enjoys crafts, art, tattoos, plants, and outdoor time. That personal side shows up in sessions as a relaxed, relatable presence that aims to help people move forward.

Approaches and fit for online work

Alexis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach she commonly uses helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so they feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope with daily stress. Another approach focuses on processing trauma responses by helping clients notice bodily and emotional signals and gradually work through distressing memories in manageable steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will test methods and adjust the plan to find what helps most for a person's situation.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options with the therapist before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also let someone keep therapy ongoing while they relocate within the same state. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
