About Alicia

Alicia Mardirosian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help clients build coping skills, strengthen self-worth, and find direction after loss or during periods of change. Alicia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and existential perspectives to support clients in developing clearer thinking patterns and actionable strategies for everyday challenges.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger and career-related stress, as well as more specific areas like caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, mood disorders, panic attacks, and seasonal affective patterns.

Sessions are offered in a conversational but structured style that aims to balance support, exploration, and practical skill-building. Alicia provides online options such as video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and schedules 30-minute live sessions on Sundays and weekday evenings to accommodate different routines.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions to stress, anxiety, and low mood. Client-centered therapy complements this by prioritizing a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore values, meaning, and personal goals in a collaborative setting.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia works together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailors methods accordingly so the work aligns with each person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions make scheduling and access more flexible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to engage in skill practice, reflective conversation, and ongoing support from home or another convenient location, while offering options that fit different routines and communication styles.
