She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Alicia offers a calm, listening presence and practical ways to move forward when life feels overwhelming.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, anger, and trauma.

Her sessions are meant to be a place to slow down, make sense of feelings, and find small, manageable steps toward relief.

She blends conversation with real skills practice, like identifying patterns of thinking and trying different ways of responding. Sessions are described as structured but conversational to keep work practical and relevant to daily life.

Alicia aims to make therapy feel grounding and empowering by listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and offering challenges when helpful. Her role is to guide and support clients as they work toward lasting change.

Weekly live sessions take place on Sundays and in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and all sessions are 30 minutes long. Alicia offers video, phone, and messaging options and works with each person to set goals and a plan that fits their life.

How Alicia’s approaches fit online therapy

Alicia uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience and priorities, offering a listening stance that follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs space to name feelings and decide what to work on first.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood challenges by breaking down problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor methods and pace to fit those needs. That collaboration helps make sessions feel practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats should be checked in advance. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused sessions when a full hour isn’t possible. People often find that video, phone, or messaging can help keep momentum between meetings and make regular work more manageable.
