About Alexis
Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and difficulty with life changes. Alexis focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She works with concerns around relationships, parenting strain, family of origin issues, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, eating struggles, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Background and approach
Her approach is down-to-earth and goal oriented, aimed at small changes that add up. Alexis blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions often include learning new skills, trying different ways of thinking, and naming feelings so they become easier to manage.
She tailors methods to each person’s situation and pace. Alexis holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC, and is licensed in Florida and New York. She has a track record of helping people find clearer direction and build better coping habits.
Her style is warm, practical, and encouraging. Outside of work she is a mother who enjoys travel, interior design, and watching murder mysteries. That personal perspective informs a relatable, empathetic approach in sessions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name deep emotions and patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can be used to practice naming feelings and testing new ways of responding in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action while teaching simple mindfulness skills to reduce getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building small, meaningful habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, offering a supportive space to be heard and understood; this approach can help people who need a steady, validating presence while they sort through issues.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and concerns and suggest which methods to try first. Work remains flexible so techniques are adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and practicing emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill coaching, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and busy days while still allowing consistent therapeutic progress.
