About Alicia
Alicia draws on years working in schools to understand what happens during life transitions. She spent over ten years as a school counselor and academic behavior interventionist in secondary schools. That background shaped how she helps people juggle school, work, relationships, and family demands.
In sessions she works on decision-making and building cognitive and behavioral plans. That means talking through what’s getting in the way, trying new ways to respond, and practicing small changes between meetings. She helps people develop coping skills for overwhelming thoughts, strong feelings, and unhelpful habits.
Alicia holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Education and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She is an LPC with five years of post-licensure practice experience in counseling adults and adolescents in various settings.
Her approach includes evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when they suit a person’s goals. Sessions emphasize collaborative planning and concrete steps clients can use in daily life.

Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness in online work
Alicia often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values-guided action and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and meaning-driven goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and habits that interfere with daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy helps bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to stressful thoughts and feelings. It can support coping with strong emotions, cravings, and concentration challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and may blend techniques across approaches as appropriate.
