I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through life’s most challenging seasons. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health and addiction treatment, with a focus on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and judgment-free. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and build healthier tools to manage life with more confidence and stability.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

Anxiety treatment is most effective when it’s active and collaborative, with practice that continues between sessions. This often includes readings and between-session exercises. Many people who haven’t found relief in traditional talk therapy discover that evidence-based approaches feel very different—and far more effective. With over 30 years as an anxiety specialist, we'll get you feeling better fast.

Therapist

Virtual • Maitland, FL


Hi!

My name is Alexis. I have been practicing as a clinician for 15+ years. I have seen, heard and experienced it all with clients. There has not been one time where I have judged a person or their behaviors in a negative manner. I strongly believe we are all good people deep inside yet sometimes we are faced with challenges that bring out not the best sides of us. Sometimes we are all in situations where we so strongly want to respond a certain way, yet can't bring ourselves to do so. Sometimes life happens TO US and we are uncertain how to proceed with confidence and calmness. I have been trained in several forms of therapy that will allow me to help an individual or couple in whatever stressor they find themselves dealing with. The most important aspect of my therapy is to teach the client the tools they need to wake up each morning and live their life with appreciation and peace.


I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I am trained in several trauma therapies including EMDR and Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am greatly drawn to CBT and Solution Focused modalities as well. People reach out for therapy for all different reasons. If you find yourself in a situation causing you distress and you are seeking help for it, give yourself a pat on the back, the first step in healing has been accomplished.


I am excited to meet you and I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio.

I believe that therapy is a journey that first begins with the courage to heal. Therapy should be a safe place to heal, discover, grow, and find moments of selah--which means to pause and reflect. The following quote sums up what I believe the healing process looks like: “Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep” (Carl Sandburg).

I'm Kat Paris, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. For over five years, I've worked extensively with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety in a variety of care settings. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach also integrates other evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for skin picking, hair pulling, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors, and Behavioral Activation to help individuals experiencing depression reconnect with activities that bring purpose and fulfillment. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a collaborative environment where you'll gain the tools and confidence to overcome challenges and reconnect with what matters most.
