About Alex

Alex Lopez is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who brings 15 years of clinical experience to his work with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He approaches each person as the expert of their own life and emphasizes individual strengths as resources for change. Alex frames the decision to seek therapy as a courageous step and aims to offer steady support throughout the process.

His practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Alex uses a blend of evidence-informed methods tailored to each client's needs, drawing on Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive, acceptance-based, and client-centered techniques.

He works in both English and Spanish and is available to international clients, bringing a pragmatic, strengths-based approach to help people move toward more fulfilling daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alex incorporates Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy into his online practice. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves so they can reduce internal conflict and build inner harmony, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and patterns related to attachment. ACT focuses on accepting difficult emotions while clarifying values and committing to meaningful action, often helping with stress, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed early in life to improve how people connect and regulate feelings in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alex works together with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting interventions as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from various locations and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life while accessing a licensed professional who draws on evidence-informed methods.
