Background and approach
Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Alicia blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings existential ideas into conversations about meaning and direction when those topics come up.
People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are structured but flexible, and she works at a pace that feels manageable for the client. Alicia commonly supports people dealing with depression, panic or panic attacks, relationship struggles, caregiver stress, and grief or end-of-life concerns.
She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, isolation, and career-related stress. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their week. Alicia focuses on practical steps and steady progress so people can return to everyday life feeling more confident and capable.
How her approaches translate to online care
Alicia draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective, helping clients feel heard and respected as they work through problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress, and practicing practical strategies to change those patterns.She treats choice of approach as a collaborative process. Together with the client she will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then use techniques from different approaches as needed. The aim is to tailor sessions so they fit the person’s life and needs rather than force a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility across busy schedules. Video sessions suit conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands while keeping the focus on steady skill-building and practical progress.
