Background and approach

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based and client-centered principles to create individualized plans that reflect each person's goals and preferences.

Alicia values collaboration and invites clients to take an active role in shaping their treatment so therapeutic work aligns with practical needs, including financial stress when relevant, informed by her Ramsey Financial Coach master training.

She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and offers skill-based tools such as DBT strategies and mindfulness to support emotion regulation and coping.

How Alicia’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping strategies; CBT focuses on connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and early attachment needs to improve current relationship and intimacy challenges by increasing emotional awareness and safety. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist supports clients in finding their own solutions and clarifying personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Alicia collaborates with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their concerns, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may integrate CBT tools, attachment perspectives, or client-centered support depending on what helps the client make progress.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care while using approaches that emphasize skill practice, emotional exploration, and goal-oriented planning across remote sessions.
