About Alicia

She emphasizes straightforward support and practical steps people can use between sessions. Her tone is calm and encouraging to help someone take the first step toward change.

How Alicia works
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with tools taught in plain language. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy strategies to help with strong emotions and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns come up. The result is a mix of problem-solving, skill practice, and gentle reflection that fits each person’s situation.
Alicia emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide what to try together. Her background includes eight years of professional experience offering counseling in Alabama. Alicia explains methods clearly and helps people try small changes that add up.
She invites questions and checks in about what is and isn’t working as therapy moves along.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the session around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can be useful when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences. Together they will choose techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan fits each person's life and needs.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and in-session skill practice. 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 shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make counseling more flexible and easier to fit around work, school, and family commitments.
