About Alexis

Alexis Skopos is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Alexis also lists life purpose among her concerns and helps people who are questioning direction after changes in work, relationships, or health.

She uses a direct and realistic style in session. Alexis blends practical conversation, occasional humor, and honest challenges to help people clarify what matters next. She aims to be straightforward about goals and how to reach them, and she welcomes first-time therapy clients as well as people who have tried therapy before.

Her training includes a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Stetson University and a range of trauma-informed certifications. Alexis has experience in residential and crisis settings, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics. That background informs her work with people who have complex life stressors and histories of trauma.

Alexis names Brainspotting among her practices and also references trauma-informed CBT and ACT approaches, plus experience with couple tools such as Gottman and Prepare/Enrich. She describes her approach as grounded in the classical Greek idea of sophrosyne - aiming to help people regain a sense of control and balance after feeling adrift.

Outside of work she values creative self-expression through art, tattoos, and crafts. She notes particular experience with Greek American clients and interest in working with LGBTQIA, sex-positive, body-acceptance communities, and domestic violence survivors, while continuing to learn about multicultural care.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Alexis names Brainspotting and trauma-informed cognitive and acceptance-based techniques among her approaches. Brainspotting is a body-focused method that can help access and process trauma-related material by identifying eye positions linked to emotional responses. Trauma-informed cognitive behavioral strategies focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexis treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will compare techniques with each person’s goals, history, and preferences. She can explain how a method works and try different options to see what fits best for managing relationships, life transitions, or trauma reactions.

The biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work during life changes or when in different locations within the therapist’s permitted region. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and check-ins for remote work to keep progress moving forward.
