Ms Alexandra Mihalakos

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“I work with children, teens, and women and specialize in anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, and EMDR. I offer in-person and online telehealth therapy in Orlando and throughout Florida.

About Me

For children, teens, and women navigating anxiety or the impact of past trauma, I provide a supportive environment. I help you gently unpack challenging feelings and experiences, integrating techniques like EMDR to build resilience. My approach focuses on understanding your unique needs, offering practical ways to find stability and move forward. This ensures you feel heard and equipped for a more confident future.

Approach

When you come in, I focus on small, manageable steps so feelings and memories can be explored without overwhelm. In Orlando or via telehealth, sessions are collaborative—balancing reflection, coping-skill practice, and paced reprocessing to reduce distress, with brief between-session exercises to reinforce progress. Work with young people and women moves at your rhythm, using age-appropriate methods, clear check-ins, and gentle tracking of changes over time. This steady, practical way of working tends to suit those seeking increased safety and everyday calm.
