About Alexis
Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and family of origin issues. Alexis also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and identity matters including LGBT issues.
Alexis uses direct, practical methods in sessions. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice values and take meaningful steps toward them.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions include talk, skill-building, and simple behavioral experiments to test different ways of coping. She pays attention to patterns that trace back to childhood and family roles so clients can see how those influences show up now.
Alexis has experience across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns, including mood disorders, panic, OCD-related issues, and postpartum mood changes. She also helps with career stress, life transitions, and feelings of isolation or abandonment.
Outside of work she is a parent and enjoys travel and design. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Alexis uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take action toward them even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and moving past stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like panic or obsessive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear, nonjudgmental listening and supports people as they make their own choices and goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try strategies that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more on ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to participate without traveling. Therapists generally adapt exercises and homework to a digital setting so progress continues between meetings.
