About Alicia

Alicia Reno is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, mood concerns, trauma, relationship challenges, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she works with individuals facing issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting and intimacy concerns, eating-related difficulties, and the challenges that come with life transitions. Her therapeutic stance is grounded in a person-centered ethic that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Alicia draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, integrates trauma-focused practices when past injury affects present functioning, and uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Holding the FL LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH18519), Alicia provides care via a variety of online session formats. Her approach is collaborative and pragmatic, aiming to help clients build coping skills and clearer pathways toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Online

Alicia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and to build practical strategies for change. CBT is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard as they explore goals and personal values. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each client to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online therapy with Alicia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and use modalities that match how a client prefers to communicate.
