About Alicia
Alicia Woodrum is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience. She practices in Maine and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem concerns. Alicia focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
She often works with people facing life transitions and those feeling isolated or stuck. She also supports clients dealing with panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and the specific pressures of young adulthood and midlife.
Background and approach
Alicia pays attention to how identity, body image, and social worries affect everyday life. Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build coping skills and improve communication. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, offers feedback, and helps set clear, achievable goals.
The aim is to develop tools that clients can use between sessions. Her background includes home and community therapy with young children and support for their caregivers, outpatient work with pre-teens and teens, plus work with adults and older adults, including some experience with Alzheimer’s and dementia and their caregivers. This range has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style.
In sessions Alicia focuses on small changes that add up. She helps people sort priorities, practice new ways of responding, and find meaning in daily routines. Her approach is steady, practical, and compassionate.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Alicia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building coping skills and improving daily functioning. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach emphasizes mood management for depression and bipolar symptoms by tracking routines, sleep, and activity to notice patterns and make small, steady changes that support mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. The first few sessions often focus on setting priorities and testing a few strategies so the treatment fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people practice skills in real time and read facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework coaching, or when short, frequent support fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
