Alicia Frank, LMHC

Alicia Frank is a licensed mental health counselor who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictive behaviors. Her style aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and find realistic next steps.

She brings 23 years of professional experience in Florida to each session. She focuses on creating an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions emphasize safety, steady pacing, and practical tools that people can try between meetings.

Alicia draws on several therapeutic approaches to match client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s values and goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding and naming feelings that arise in relationships or during healing from trauma.

She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people connect with purpose, cope with difficult emotions, and build tolerance for uncertainty. For concerns like panic attacks, phobias, obsessive thoughts, and self-harm, sessions combine skill practice with emotional exploration.

People who contact her typically want straightforward guidance and steady support while they work toward change. To begin, readers should select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping people state what matters most and set realistic goals. Online sessions can keep that same tone by letting the therapist respond to what comes up and shape sessions around the client’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. In remote work this often means practicing short exercises between meetings, using worksheets, and reviewing what worked or didn’t work on the next call.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings, especially around relationships or trauma. Those steps can be done over remote sessions by slowing the pace, checking in often, and using grounded breathing or other regulation skills when emotions rise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and everyday demands. Goals and methods can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel, allow quick check-ins, or make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match what you need.
