She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, abandonment wounds, and the stress of caregiving. Sessions often include skill practice, gentle reflection, and real-world experiments to try between meetings.

She explains concepts in plain language and focuses on what someone can do next. Therapy is paced to each person's needs and energy. People work with her to reduce emotional reactivity, set healthier boundaries, and build a clearer sense of self.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions because it focuses on action that aligns with personal goals.She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people notice triggers in relationships and practice new ways of responding to build more supported interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will listen to a client's concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can shift as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
