Alex Lopez, LMHC

Alex Lopez is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on clear, practical steps to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Alex centers sessions on the client's priorities and strengths. He treats the person, not just a problem, and works with each client to set small, doable goals. He uses straightforward language and tools so conversations translate into real changes between sessions.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix helps with mood, worry, relationships, and impulsive behavior. Techniques include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new skills, and building habits that match personal values.

Alex has supported people through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment worries, communication problems, and isolation. He also helps clients coping with divorce, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and the emotional fallout of disasters.

Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging, and international clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy and changing behavior

Alex uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on specific skills and small practice tasks that can reduce distress and improve daily routines.

He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine how early relationship patterns influence current connections and to build healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alex collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts tools and pacing so therapy feels useful and doable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is helpful for longer therapy work and skills practice, phone calls can be a good option with lower bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and short reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week or to connect from another state or country.
