About Alicia
Alicia draws on five years as an LPC plus more than ten years working in secondary schools. That background gives her hands-on experience with stress, depression, and the school- and career-related pressures young people face. She also has a Master of Arts in Counseling Education and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.
In sessions she focuses on building coping skills for thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Clients work on problem-solving, decision-making, and short-term cognitive and behavioral plans they can try between meetings. Alicia uses plain language and step-by-step strategies rather than jargon.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, body image, attachment issues, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with family stress, blended family challenges, codependency, and communication or control issues.
Alicia integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. The emphasis is on practical tools and collaborative planning that help people move through changes and regain a sense of balance.
People who want concrete strategies and lots of collaborative problem solving may find her style a good fit. Those looking for stepwise change and hands-on skills practice will see the focus in sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counseling
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those priorities. Together they check what helps and adjust plans as needed rather than assuming one method will work for everyone.
For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also offer alternatives when a client prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Ask about the available session formats and scheduling to find what fits daily life.
