Alexis James is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in both Florida and New York. She holds licensure as a mental health counselor in Florida (LMHC license MH15281) and in New York (LMHC license 010995), and she has previously held certification as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. With ten years of clinical experience working with people across the lifespan, Alexis brings a calm, optimistic presence to therapy.
She is particularly passionate about supporting women of color, specifically Black women, while remaining welcoming to any individual seeking help. Alexis aims to identify individualized, practical solutions that help clients uncover their potential and make everyday life feel like a breath of fresh air. While she acknowledges that lasting change rarely comes from a single quick fix, she partners with clients to find comfort and resolution in difficult areas and to face ongoing challenges with greater ease.
Alexis’s specialties include anxiety, stress related to adjustment, relational stress, parenting concerns, trauma, addictions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT matters, family conflict, grief, eating disorders, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, and ADHD. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused approaches alongside other theoretical orientations to guide treatment, tailoring methods to each person’s needs.
Colleagues and clients find her easygoing, motivated, and genuinely passionate about her role as a helper. Outside of work she is a mother, wife, and sister who enjoys traveling, shopping, and interior design, and she relaxes with reruns of The Office and murder mysteries. Alexis values connection with her clients and looks forward to speaking and working together.
Alexis is based in New York and is available for live chat sessions on Tuesday and Friday mornings only at this time.
Many people ask whether remote counseling can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit regular care into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed, clients are able to switch providers at any time. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical way to work on mental health and relationship goals without sacrificing quality of care.
