Alexis Skopos , LMHC

Alexis Skopos is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on women’s issues alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and self-esteem. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest about what’s hard. Alexis uses humor, compassion, and gentle challenge to help clients move toward clearer goals and greater balance.

She trained at Stetson University, earning a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. Over eight years she has worked in residential and crisis settings, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. That range gives her practical experience with many life circumstances.

Her approach draws from evidence-based trauma work and structured therapies, and she often combines interactive tools with conversational work. She describes therapy as collaborative - helping clients spot patterns, set realistic steps, and try new ways of coping.

Alexis is particularly committed to serving people affected by domestic violence, addiction, attachment and abandonment concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports sexuality-affirming care and body acceptance, and she aims to remain culturally informed, including work with Greek American clients.

Outside of practice she enjoys hands-on creative projects like candle making and resin art, spending time outdoors, and collecting plants. Those interests inform a belief that creativity and small everyday practices can support lasting change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Alexis works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom reduction and improved coping. One common approach she uses helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life through focused attention and guided techniques. Another approach emphasizes practical cognitive and behavioral skills - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and building small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Alexis will talk with clients about goals, past experiences, and what feels tolerable in therapy, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans as people learn what helps and what does not, so progress is shaped by real-world practice and regular check-ins.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat suits shorter updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping treatment consistent and focused on meaningful change.
