About Alexis
Alexis Skopos is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She aims to create a space where clients can be honest, catch a break from self-judgment, and work toward clearer direction. She blends warmth, humor, and challenge in sessions to help people meet their goals.
Her approach centers on improving emotional balance and building skills that matter day to day. Alexis draws on ideas from Brainspotting and trauma-informed methods to address trauma, post-traumatic stress, and abuse. She also helps people sort through relationship concerns, communication problems, and issues around attachment and codependency.
Alexis completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Stetson University. She holds the LMHC credential and has eight years of clinical experience in settings such as residential units, crisis services, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics.
She is passionate about working with survivors of domestic violence and people in LGBTQIA, sex positive, and body acceptance communities. She also mentions a cultural connection to Greek American clients and uses the idea of sophrosyne - balanced living and steady self-direction - as a guiding concept in therapy.
Outside of work she enjoys craft projects, art, spending time outdoors, and creative self-expression. Alexis invites people to bring their real lives into sessions and to take practical steps toward more control and meaning.
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Alexis uses evidence-based techniques such as Brainspotting and trauma-informed cognitive and acceptance strategies to help people process difficult experiences. Brainspotting focuses on identifying body-based spots that connect to emotional pain to reduce distress and improve regulation. Trauma-informed CBT and ACT offer tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns and building values-based action when trauma or stress gets in the way.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods that match those needs. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps the client make steady progress toward clearer thinking and better coping skills.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm which formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not specify session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance when the approach and schedule fit the person's needs.
