About Alex
Alex Lopez is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 15 years of professional experience to each session.
Background and approach
Alex frames the work as a partnership and treats each person as the expert on their own life. He begins by listening to what matters most and identifying small, practical steps to reduce distress.
Sessions focus on usable skills for day-to-day life rather than abstract theory. Alex mixes approaches to match the person in front of him, drawing on cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based ideas to build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Attachment-based work is woven into conversations about relationships and how past patterns shape present reactions. Client-centered principles guide the pace and direction of therapy so goals are realistic and personally meaningful.
The Gottman Method informs his understanding of relationship dynamics and communication patterns without promising a single solution. Throughout therapy he emphasizes clear communication, coping skills, and attention to values and goals.
He also supports people dealing with issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and isolation. Alex aims to make therapy understandable and practical so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
He welcomes international clients and adapts his approach to fit cultural background and language needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Alex offers steady, respectful support as people work toward greater balance and well-being.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Alex draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with chronic stress. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape reactions today and to help people develop new ways of connecting and relating. Attachment work can clarify patterns that show up in close relationships and everyday interactions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Alex will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what helps. The aim is to find practical tools that feel doable and meaningful in daily life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or be easier when camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
