Alexis Abrams, LMHC

Alexis Abrams is a licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of practice in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Alexis emphasizes clear, practical steps and a respectful, down-to-earth style.

Her approach begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying what already works for them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and a client-centered stance to build simple skills for coping and decision making. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time.

Alexis often works with people facing codependency, communication problems, family-related struggles, isolation, and substance concerns. She also supports those processing trauma, seeking greater self-love, or navigating issues common to women. Her work blends skill-building with strength-based reflection so clients can practice new behaviors between sessions.

In a session with Alexis, a person can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools. She helps set short-term goals and tracks progress in an easy-to-follow way. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm while increasing confidence to handle daily challenges.

Alexis invites people to start where they are and build from there. She recognizes taking the first step takes courage and treats that step as important. The tone of her work is practical, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

How Alexis blends CBT and client-centered work online

Alexis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term goals, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and addictive patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on each person's strengths to guide the pace of work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alexis will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend strategies to try. She treats this as a collaborative effort and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practice of skills. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief coping plans, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options allow people to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools.
