About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran brings nearly three decades of counseling experience to her work in the District of Columbia. She is an LPC who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
Her approach is grounded in helping people name their feelings and make deliberate choices about how they want to respond. She emphasizes emotional intelligence as a way to connect past beliefs with present feelings.
How Alicia works
Sessions center on understanding how old patterns influence current reactions and on learning new ways to respond. Dr. Moran does not give prescriptive advice; she offers options and helps each person discover what fits them.
Her background includes long clinical experience across mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and substance-related concerns. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, family of origin matters, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Work can include coaching-style guidance for practical steps as well as deeper emotional processing.
People meet her for help with everyday stressors, relationship communication, managing intense emotions, and making sense of grief or loss. She uses a mix of familiar therapeutic ideas to match the needs of the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward.
Dr. Moran helps clients set clear goals, practice skills between meetings, and track progress over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Moran uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on emotional awareness and practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying and naming emotions so that reactions become clearer and easier to manage; this helps with anxiety, anger, and panic attacks. Another approach focuses on examining early beliefs that shape current behavior and relationships; that work can relieve patterns tied to trauma, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through options with each person, set goals, and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful, so therapy feels collaborative rather than fixed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can fit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief coaching, reflections between sessions, and flexible communication when schedules are tight. These options let people access licensed professionals from different locations and fit sessions into busy lives.
