Alex Lopez, LMHC

Alex Lopez is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people wrestle with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. He approaches sessions as a chance to listen and build on each person’s strengths. He encourages small, practical steps that fit into daily life and honors the courage it takes to begin therapy.

His work starts by learning what matters to the client and what gets in the way of those goals. He uses clear, direct conversation and evidence-informed techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as on understanding what led to stuck feelings.

Alex draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, and attachment-based ideas to address emotion, behavior, and relationships. He also uses client-centered listening to keep the person’s priorities front and center. The emphasis is on practical tools tied to the client’s values and life circumstances.

Clients often bring concerns such as relationship strain, feelings of emptiness, trouble with impulsivity, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or difficulty with communication. Alex works in both English and Spanish and can assist people from different backgrounds.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client is in charge of goals and pace. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions that often come up in midlife. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns over time. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in current relationships and can help people improve communication and feel less isolated.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client’s priorities, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative testing helps make sessions feel useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let a person choose whether to be on camera or use audio only, which can help with focus or comfort during hard conversations.
