Alexis Skopos, LMHC

Alexis Skopos is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who blends humor, compassion, and direct challenge to help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and life transitions. With a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Stetson University, Alexis brings eight years of clinical experience across residential settings, crisis units, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. Her training includes certification in multiple Brainspotting practices, trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Gottman couples counseling, and Prepare/Enrich couple assessment work.

Alexis cultivates a welcoming atmosphere where people can speak openly without judgment, aiming to create a space that is relatable and realistic while encouraging growth. She has a particular interest in supporting the LGBTQIA community, sex-positive and body-acceptance communities, and survivors of domestic violence, and she approaches multicultural care with a willingness to learn and adapt. Alexis also offers specialized support for Greek American clients and those facing first-time therapy experiences or major life transitions.

Beyond clinical work, Alexis values creativity and self-expression, enjoying activities such as candle making, resin art, makeup experimentation, and tattoo culture. She also finds restoration in time spent outdoors, playing with dogs, swimming at state springs, collecting plants, and sharing laughter with friends and family. Alexis welcomes new clients and looks forward to collaborating on practical steps toward greater balance and well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Alexis uses Brainspotting to help clients process stored emotional and physiological responses by identifying visual spots that correlate with healing - an approach often used for trauma and intense emotional experiences. She also integrates trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-informed acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is another method Alexis applies; it emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to values-driven action to build a meaningful life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alexis works with clients to evaluate which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to support progress in a way that feels practical and respectful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible access that fits into varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, while still receiving guidance from licensed professionals who tailor care to each client’s situation.
