Alicia focuses on rebuilding self-esteem and improving communication. She helps people develop coping skills for anger, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues tied to adoption or caregiving are also part of her practice. In sessions she blends approaches to match each person’s needs. Alicia draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
She uses attachment-informed work to look at how relationships shape reactions and connection. Therapy is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect to set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and practice skills that fit daily life.
Alicia emphasizes a supportive tone and real-world tools rather than jargon. She holds a Missouri LPC license and brings ten years of counseling experience. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling via the Start Therapy process.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to examine how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and closeness. These methods are aimed at practical change and clearer relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she tailors methods and adjusts the plan as clients try skills and report back on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
