ALEXIS HONEYCUTT, LMHC | CERTIFIED GOTTMAN THERAPIST
Alexis Honeycutt, Relationship Expert & Certified Gottman Therapist
Expertise in marriage, couples, communication, betrayal, and complex relationship challenges
Alexis Honeycutt has practiced clinically since 2015, building her career around marriage, couples, communication, and complex relationship challenges. A relationship expert, Certified Gottman Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Gottman Educator, Florida Qualified Supervisor, and University of Central Florida instructor, Alexis brings more than a decade of clinical experience together with specialized relationship training, professional education, and real-world work with couples.
Couples often come to Alexis when the problem is too important for generic advice and too complicated for another conversation that ends in the same place. Her work includes betrayal and loss of trust, entrenched conflict, emotional distance, repeated communication breakdown, and major decisions about whether and how a relationship can move forward. Her approach is direct, private, research-based, and designed for couples who want to understand what is actually happening between them and make meaningful decisions about what comes next.
A Career Focused on Marriage and Relationships
Alexis’s expertise in relationships has developed through more than a decade of clinical practice, advanced couples training, university teaching, and professional education. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Central Florida and began practicing clinically in 2015.
Her relationship work has remained closely connected to UCF. Alexis previously taught undergraduate Marriage and Intimate Relationships and now serves seasonally as an adjunct instructor, facilitating postgraduate supervision in Counselor Education and School Psychology. She is also a Florida Qualified Supervisor, extending her role beyond direct clinical practice into the education and development of other mental health professionals.
Alexis became a Certified Gottman Therapist in 2023 after years of clinical work with couples. She is also a Gottman Educator for The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work and a Gottman Educator for The Art and Science of Love. Together, those roles reflect both sides of her work: helping couples directly and teaching research-based relationship principles in educational settings.
Her additional professional distinctions include National Certified Counselor status, certification by the Florida Supreme Court as a Family Mediator, and training to facilitate PREPARE/ENRICH. That combination of clinical practice, relationship specialization, education, supervision, and conflict-resolution experience gives Alexis a broad perspective on the problems couples bring into the room, especially when betrayal, entrenched conflict, intimacy, competing perspectives, or major decisions about the future of the marriage are involved.
Life Beyond the Office
Alexis is a wife and mother, and her own marriage and family are an important part of the perspective she brings to her work. She understands that strong relationships are not built in theory. They are shaped over years through change, pressure, competing demands, ordinary routines, difficult conversations, and the choice to keep knowing one another as life evolves.
Outside the practice, Alexis enjoys time with her husband and two sons, especially family trips to the mountains of North Carolina and drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway. She also enjoys cycling, reading, cooking, and singing.
A Relationship Practice Built Around Specialized Expertise
Alexis is a native Floridian, wife, and mother of two sons. Outside the office, she enjoys reading, cooking, singing, riding her bike, and spending time with her family.
Some of her favorite time away is spent in the mountains of North Carolina, especially along the Blue Ridge Parkway. That balance between professional intensity and a full personal life is important to her, and it reflects something she values deeply in her work with couples: a strong relationship should support the life you are building, not disappear underneath it.

The Relationship Work Alexis Is Known For
Alexis’s practice is intentionally centered on couples. Her work ranges from ongoing Gottman Method couples therapy to concentrated private intensives, betrayal recovery, premarital work, and relationship education for couples who want to strengthen what they have before something breaks.
Couples Therapy
For couples who want consistent, ongoing support, Alexis provides evidence-based couples therapy focused on the patterns that shape communication, conflict, trust, friendship, and intimacy. Her work is grounded in the Gottman Method and tailored to the realities of the relationship in front of her.
Private Couples Intensives
When a relationship is carrying more than a weekly session can comfortably address, Alexis offers private couples intensives with extended, uninterrupted time to understand what has happened and begin addressing it. This work is often chosen when there has been betrayal, entrenched conflict, repeated communication breakdown, or a major relationship decision that cannot simply be ignored.
The Art and Science of Love®
As a Gottman Educator for The Art and Science of Love, Alexis presents the two-day educational workshop developed by The Gottman Institute. The program gives couples a research-based way to strengthen communication, friendship, conflict management, intimacy, and shared meaning while keeping their private conversations between the two of them.
When the Relationship Matters, Expertise Matters
Choosing who to trust with your relationship is a consequential decision. Alexis works with couples who are looking for more than reassurance, generic advice, or another conversation about communication. They want someone with the experience to recognize what is happening beneath the argument, understand the history that brought them here, and be direct about what needs attention.
With more than a decade of clinical experience and specialized work in marriage and relationships, Alexis helps couples navigate betrayal, entrenched conflict, emotional distance, recurring communication breakdown, and difficult decisions about the future of the relationship. Her work combines the structure of Gottman Method Couples Therapy with the perspective she has developed as a clinician, relationship educator, supervisor, and university instructor.
The goal is not to preserve a relationship at any cost or tell two people what their marriage should look like. It is to understand what is happening clearly, determine what can change, and help both partners make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
