About Alex

Alex Lopez is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He approaches therapy with the belief that each person brings strengths and knowledge about their own life, and he partners with clients to build on those resources while addressing the obstacles that keep them from feeling more capable and fulfilled.

His practice includes attention to attachment-related concerns, relationship patterns, communication struggles, and issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, chronic illness, and coping after separation or disaster. Clinically he draws from a range of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based work, client-centered principles, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.

Alex offers care in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients, tailoring his approach to each person’s needs and goals. Clients who choose Alex can expect a collaborative process focused on identifying practical skills and shifting unhelpful habits while honoring personal values.

He frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and aims to provide steady support as clients move toward greater resilience and well-being.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and difficulties with motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult emotions while taking action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for persistent worry, avoidance patterns, and adjustment to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and early connection to help improve interpersonal functioning and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for attachment wounds, trust issues, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and challenges and will adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, attachment work, or other methods to create a tailored plan that fits the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it possible to connect from different locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or travel, and allow people to continue therapy in ways that integrate with their daily life.
