About Alicia
She brings 18 years of experience in a range of mental health settings. That work included children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families addressing communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also has experience related to autism and Asperger syndrome and with young adult issues and women's concerns.
Alicia describes her work as client-centered and solution-focused. She focuses on the priorities a person brings and helps set small, concrete goals. Sessions use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and strengths-based work.
In practice she aims to create an open, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them. She often helps clients identify patterns, test new ways of relating, and build skills to manage emotions and stress. The goal is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
Her credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. These qualifications reflect many years working with varied concerns in the field. If someone wants to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and encourages the therapist to follow the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone wants to address relationship patterns, parenting questions, or emotional reactions by naming what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change, so treatment stays practical and focused on daily life changes.
Confirm the available session options before booking because formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports working through relationship, parenting, or trauma-related issues from wherever you can focus and reflect. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to remote conversations so practical skills and goal planning continue between sessions.
