About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the District of Columbia.
Her approach centers on helping people name emotions and understand how past beliefs shape current reactions. She invites clients to explore options rather than handing down advice. Her work emphasizes emotional awareness and practical choices.
Sessions focus on making sense of triggers like guilt, shame, or grief and learning small changes that reduce their hold.
Background and approach
She also helps with anger, panic and mood challenges, social anxiety, and feeling stuck or empty. Dr. Moran integrates a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.
She blends ideas from rational emotive behavioral methods, reality theory, psychodynamic thinking, and a person-centered stance. This mix is used to match strategies to what a person actually needs. She has long experience with concerns that often follow trauma and abuse, and she also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting stresses, and first responder issues.
Her background includes work across several states, and she brings a practical, steady style to sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dr.
Moran encourages people to take small steps and choose the methods that fit their life and goals.
How therapy approaches translate online
Dr. Moran uses a few evidence-based techniques in ways that fit online care. Rational emotive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful ways of thinking; this approach helps with anxiety, panic, and self-critical patterns. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions; it often helps with grief, low self-worth, and isolation. A psychodynamic perspective looks at recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events, which can be useful for deepening understanding of chronic mood or relationship struggles.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy here offers flexibility and many practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or steps between sessions. These options make it easier to find a cadence that fits work, family, or other routines while still getting steady therapeutic support.
