She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to what feels right for the client. Alicia draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when they fit the person’s goals.
These methods are used to teach coping skills, reduce panic, and improve mood and daily functioning. Many people come to her wanting better communication, a stronger sense of purpose, or relief from panic attacks and life transitions. She supports those navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, women’s issues, and multicultural stresses with attention to context and values.
Alicia offers frank discussion about goals, practical tools to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. She works with individuals who want to build self-love, handle mood challenges, or repair patterns that harm relationships.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Alicia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with panic, anxiety, and mood concerns.She also draws from Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity to stress. Mindfulness practices support emotion regulation and can be paired with other techniques to manage anxiety and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist collaboratively choose techniques and track progress over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and staying connected between meetings.
