About Alexia
Alexia Pilleris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and anger. She also helps people who struggle with communication and loneliness.
Alexia uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening for them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that make problems worse, and she helps identify small changes that can feel manageable.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them. She also uses client-centered ideas to follow the person’s priorities in session. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they seem useful to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change, especially around substance use or habits. Existential approaches come into play when people are wrestling with meaning, life purpose, or big transitions. These methods are mixed to match what a person brings in a given week.
Alexia aims to be direct and practical in sessions. People leave with clear next steps, whether that is communication skills practice, coping strategies for anger, or short experiments to test new behaviors.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on what matters to the client. The therapist listens and follows the person’s priorities, helping them name goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors with short between-session exercises. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to lower reactivity and notice emotional patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Alexia will talk with a client about symptoms, goals, and what felt helpful in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust as needed. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and relevant.
