Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when stronger emotion work can help people connect with their feelings and respond differently. Alicia also draws on mindfulness techniques to calm racing thoughts and reduce reactivity.

Her practice combines listening with straightforward strategies so people can see small changes week to week. Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and practical skills to handle day-to-day challenges.
Alicia encourages realistic steps and celebrates progress along the way. She is based in Florida and works in English. Alicia supports people who are ready to take the next step toward feeling more capable and calm.
Approaches that translate to online work
Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, panic, or compulsive responses.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the person most wants to address. This approach helps people feel heard and guides decisions about which strategies to try next.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia collaborates with each person to decide whether skill-focused work, emotional processing, or mindfulness exercises fit best. Goals, preferences, and how someone responds to early sessions help shape the plan together.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats until the right fit is found.
