About Alex
Alex Lopez is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 15 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. He speaks English and Spanish and works with clients online across locations.
He believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge into sessions. His style focuses on practical steps and everyday language so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Background and approach
He emphasizes small, useful changes that fit into a busy life. Sessions draw on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to manage thoughts and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns or past hurts affect current life.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Alex aims to build a calm, focused space where people can talk through what’s hardest. He listens for strengths and builds on them with clear tools for coping and communication.
He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and relationship splits. For people new to therapy he offers straightforward guidance on how to begin. He helps set practical goals, tracks progress, and adjusts strategies as needs change.
The focus is on usable skills that reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when worry or low mood get in the way of living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It is useful for stress, depression, and managing impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and situation. Sessions can mix tools from ACT, CBT, DBT skills, and attachment ideas so the plan fits what the client needs and prefers.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make meetings flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support short exchanges, homework check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and keep continuity even when schedules change.
