Alexis James , LMHC

Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who practices in Florida and New York and brings a decade of experience supporting people across the lifespan. She has held certification as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and combines practical therapeutic skills with a calm, engaged presence to help clients move forward. Alexis is particularly committed to working with women of color, including Black women, and is open to supporting any individual seeking help.

Her work focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that can limit daily functioning and satisfaction, then using established clinical methods to find tailored, realistic solutions. Alexis often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-oriented approaches, alongside other therapeutic orientations, to address anxiety, adjustment-related stress, relational concerns, parenting challenges, and trauma. She emphasizes collaboration, helping each person discover strategies that fit their life and values rather than promising quick fixes.

Colleagues and clients will find Alexis approachable, motivated, and sincere about her role as a helper. Outside of practice she is a mother, wife, and sister who enjoys travel, shopping, and interior design, and she relaxes with reruns of The Office and murder mysteries. She connects with clients through a warm, straightforward style and notes that live chat sessions are available Tuesday and Friday mornings only at this time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Alexis James integrates several practical therapies to tailor care to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore goals and build self-understanding, which can benefit relationship issues, identity concerns, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexis works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to decide which methods suit a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, accommodate parenting or work responsibilities, and allow people to connect in the way that feels most comfortable for them.
