My name is Alexis Skopos, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who specializes in Brainspotting, life transition, first time therapy clients, and Greek American clients.
Hi there! My name is Alexis Skopos, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida specializing in Brainspotting therapy, life transitions, and supporting first-time therapy clients, including those from the Greek American community. I have been described as having a 'full personality,' using humor, compassion, and a bit of challenge to help you reach your therapy goals! I graduated from Stetson University with a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in clinical mental health counseling. I hold certifications in various Brainspotting practices, trauma-informed CBT, trauma-informed ACT, Gottman couple's counseling, and Prepare/Enrich. I am incredibly passionate about providing LGBTQIA community support, engaging with the sex-positive community, advocating for body acceptance, and supporting domestic violence survivors. My open-minded approach drives me to go the extra mile in educating myself about multicultural informed care. In my free time, I enjoy candle making, creating resin art, experimenting with different makeup styles, and collecting tattoos—I have over one hundred! I cherish self-expression and the celebration of originality. I strongly believe in the power of creativity, whether through music, art, dance, writing, or any activity that brings joy. I find immense happiness and inner peace in using my imagination, which is why I love playing with dogs, enjoying games, swimming, and visiting state springs. Additionally, I enjoy collecting plants, designing new things, laughing with friends and family, and seeking new adventures.
First session
I will do my little spiel that is required for the start of therapy, we will discuss your therapy experiences, then we will discuss your life and just what has been big experiences in your life.
Strengths
I have been described as having a "full personality". I am a very real person who will not BS you and be genuine. I use a lot of humor but even more empathy and compassion as you explore the scary things about being a human.
Ideal clients
I am incredibly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA community, sex positive community, body acceptance community, and domestic violence survivors. I am very open minded to most communities and will go the distance to educate myself for multicultural informed care. I come from a Greek background and am passionate about the ancient Greek concept of Sophrosyne, which focuses on improving one’s character and maintaining an upbeat sound of mind. The idea is to lead a well-balanced life and gain a sense of control rather than feeling like your life is spiraling and you don’t have access to the brakes or steering wheel. So that is my approach toward helping others achieve their goals and create new pathways in life to better themselves. We all need to take time for ourselves and connect with a sense of inner peace.
Treatment methods

I have training in trauma informed ACT. This is around finding acceptance in things we have little control over.

I have been using CBT since the start of my career. It is the most common technique I use.
