Alicia Frank, LMHC

Alicia Frank is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that influence stress, anxiety, and mood so people can make clearer choices day to day. Alicia creates a calm space where clients can talk about what matters without feeling judged.

She helps people manage anger, improve self-esteem, and address addictions and relationship concerns. Trauma, abuse, and the fallout from divorce or separation are also areas she commonly supports. Alicia works with anxiety presentations such as panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and self-harm behaviors.

Alicia uses a mix of practical approaches. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and habits, and mindfulness to bring attention to the present moment. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas inform conversations about meaning, values, and close relationships.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps. Clients leave with concrete tools to try between meetings and time to talk through setbacks. The goal is gradual change that fits everyday life.

She practices in Florida and conducts work in English. People who want to begin can use the site’s matching process to find out if her style is a match for their needs.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online care

Alicia commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to structure sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience, which helps build trust and lets sessions follow the client’s pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and everyday habits, offering practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and routine behaviors.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to address relationship patterns and on mindfulness to strengthen awareness of feelings and bodily experience. These approaches can be mixed to match what a person needs in the moment. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; she will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.

If you are considering online care, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or family tasks, and can allow for shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Talk with her during the matching process about practical needs like session length, camera use, and timing so you can find a plan that fits everyday life.
