Background and approach
She works on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, mood and stress related concerns, including anxiety and depression. Alicia also helps with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, career stresses, and coping with life changes. She addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue when these affect daily life.
She supports people facing family problems, communication issues, codependency, caregiving stress, and aging or geriatric challenges. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions may include talking through patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.
Alicia encourages realistic goals and tracks progress in simple steps. People can expect a steady, experience-based guide who values their expertise about their own life. She helps them find tools that fit their routine and priorities, and adjusts plans as situations change.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for worry, stress, and mood changes.Another approach she employs focuses on processing reactions to trauma and building skills to manage strong emotions. It helps people reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and handle relationship or intimacy-related strain. Both approaches are adapted to the pace and goals of the person in front of her.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances change.
Online therapy with her is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and live chat can be useful for quick updates, homework, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or travel plans.
