About Alicia

She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods drawn from cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are practical and task-oriented. Clients can expect clear steps to try between meetings and opportunities to track what is working.
Alicia has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, social anxiety and phobia, and those living with developmental differences or chronic and terminal health concerns. She also helps people navigate communication problems and the everyday ripple effects those problems cause.
Part of her work includes helping people connect with services and supports in their communities. That often means discussing next steps, paperwork needs, or local resources that can make daily life easier.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set specific goals, test small changes, and adjust the plan based on what fits their life. If you want a therapist who focuses on practical solutions and clear next steps, she may be a good match.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Alicia draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and social anxiety where identifying patterns and testing new actions matters.Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical changes and on what is already working. It helps people set short-term goals and identify next steps they can try between sessions, which can be helpful for parenting, communication problems, and career stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together until the methods fit the person’s needs and preferences. That way sessions stay focused on useful, real-world changes.

It can also allow shorter check-ins, make it simpler to include geographically distant family supports, or let someone fit sessions into a busy workday without a long commute.
