About Alicia
Alicia Betancourt is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of practice in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Alicia also supports those facing relationship and career pressures, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and the day-to-day strains of coping with life changes.
She begins by listening to what feels hardest right now and then building a clear plan together. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to the person’s strengths.
How Alicia works
Alicia aims to help clients notice what works and make small, steady changes. Her work includes helping people navigate family issues, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood concerns. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury, and multicultural challenges.
These focus areas shape how she tailors conversations and plans. Alicia has supported people through compassion fatigue, grief after disasters, and coping with prejudice or discrimination. She also addresses personality concerns such as avoidant, dependent, and other personality-related patterns.
Her approach is flexible to each situation and concern. She welcomes teenagers, people with disabilities, and anyone who wants a steady, listening presence. Alicia emphasizes concrete steps and realistic goals so progress feels measurable and manageable.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and practical online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday experience, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building routines and problem-solving skills to manage stress, mood swings, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is seen. Clients and therapist work together to pick what feels useful and to change course if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging provide brief, flexible touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent despite busy days or travel.
