About Alexia
LMHC in Florida with 12 years of experience, Alexia Pilleris helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and relationship communication problems. She works with individuals who are coping with life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices several talk-based approaches to support goal-focused work.
Alexia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s own goals and perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing features in her work when people are weighing change, especially around drug and alcohol use.
She also brings existential and mindfulness approaches. Existential ideas help people consider values, meaning, and responsibility when facing life transitions. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress and panic.
In a session the focus is practical. Conversations target clearer communication, managing mood and anxiety, reducing substance use, and strengthening self-regard. Exercises and reflections between sessions are used when helpful to support ongoing progress.
Alexia’s experience spans a range of mood and anxiety disorders, addiction concerns, and interpersonal difficulties. She asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

How Alexia’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Alexia uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core methods. Client-Centered work focuses on the person's goals and perspective, letting conversations guide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and uses straightforward exercises to change them.She also integrates Motivational Interviewing when people are thinking about change, particularly around substance use. That approach uses conversational tools to strengthen motivation and plan next steps. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist and client decide together what fits the person's goals and preferences.
If you plan to try sessions online, confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefit of remote work is that it can fit into daily life more easily, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Therapists can use talk-based CBT exercises, motivational conversations, and mindfulness cues effectively in remote meetings, and adaptations or between-session tasks can be arranged to keep work moving forward.
