Background and approach

Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling from Spring Arbor University and study in psychology at Grand Valley State University. Alicia’s path into mental health began in her teenage years and led to a steady career in counseling work. She brings six years of focused counseling practice to her sessions.

In the therapy room she aims to be flexible and nonjudgmental. She adapts to each person’s needs and pace, whether someone is dealing with long-standing struggles or recent events. Communication, respect, and kindness guide how she interacts with clients.

Alicia also works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image, caregiving stress, fertility and cancer-related challenges, first responder stress, and forgiveness and guilt. She helps people reframe thoughts and build confidence to move forward.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in ways that are clear and practical. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people notice thoughts that increase stress and practice new ways of thinking. Another common technique centers on building coping skills and behavior change through small, measurable steps to manage strong emotions and everyday stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to understand their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when written reflection helps the person process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
