About Alicia
Her style is interactive and trauma-informed. She blends practical tools and short-term strategies so people can try things that fit their life. That includes skills for managing intense emotions and steps to break unhelpful patterns that cause pain or conflict.
Alicia has twelve years of experience working with people from varied backgrounds, including those who have lived through abuse or crisis. She uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and strength-focused methods to shape sessions around each person’s goals. If faith is important to a client, she can offer care that is sensitive to Christian beliefs and values.
Typical sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and practical next steps. Alicia supports people who are processing grief, coping with family problems, or dealing with separation and divorce-related stress. She aims to help people gain steadier emotional balance and clearer choices in their daily life.
To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. From there she and the client plan simple, achievable steps and track progress over time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Alicia incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. These methods are used to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle day-to-day problems with practical exercises.She also draws on skills inspired by dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be practiced between sessions to help steady reactions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, values, and day-to-day life. Together they set priorities and try approaches that feel useful, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
