About Alexia
Alexia Pilleris offers a warm, person-focused approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience and listens without judgment. Alexia helps people talk through issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, and low self-esteem in straightforward, practical sessions.
She uses client-centered work to ground sessions in each person's goals and values. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client while the therapist reflects, asks helpful questions, and offers perspective.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when people want clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with stress, panic, and overwhelming emotions. Alexia also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are facing change, such as reducing substance use or making career moves.
Existential ideas come up for clients who are questioning purpose or meaning. Her practice focuses on problems like addictions, mood disorders, communication problems, isolation, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with family conflict, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and held from Florida. Alexia prefers a straightforward, conversational style. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between meetings, and notice progress over time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Approach and options for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful for anyone who wants a collaborative, respectful space to figure things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple homework like tracking thoughts or trying new actions, and it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness work teaches present-moment skills to notice and tolerate difficult feelings without reacting immediately. These techniques can reduce stress and help manage panic or strong impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That collaboration can change over time as goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family, or daily routines.
