About Alexia
Alexia Pilleris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and anger. People also come to her for help with self-esteem, loneliness, communication problems, and life transitions.
Alexia uses straightforward conversation to understand what feels stuck. She listens for patterns in behavior and thought that keep problems repeating. Then she introduces practical tools - simple exercises from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness practices that can reduce reactivity and interrupt impulsive responses.
She also draws on client-centered principles, which means time in sessions focuses on the client’s priorities and what they want to change. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone is ambivalent about making changes, especially around substance use or habit change. Existential ideas come into play when people are wrestling with life purpose or meaning during major transitions.
Sessions are aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big overhauls. Examples include planning short behavior experiments, learning brief grounding skills for intense moments, and practicing clearer communication moves for conversations that often escalate. Alexia blends practical skills with reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
She offers services in English and practices from Florida. Clients who want to begin are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and the therapist following those concerns. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and shaping the work around the client’s goals, whether that is managing anger or improving communication.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online CBT sessions often include short homework tasks, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between meetings to test new responses to triggers.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These are short exercises that can be demonstrated in session and then repeated independently across the week.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. This is a shared process that can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many clients find online work helps fit sessions into busy lives - it can make scheduling easier, cut commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about how to structure sessions so they work with day-to-day demands.
