More about Alicia
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences. I work with clients navigating isolation and loneliness, grief, trauma, mood disorders, chronic pain and illness, domestic violence, and gender-related concerns. I also have experience supporting autistic individuals and those with intellectual disabilities.
My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural responsiveness. I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted for who you are. I'm committed to working with LGBTQ+ clients and bringing an affirming, values-aligned perspective to our work together.
Whether you're processing past trauma, managing ongoing mental health challenges, or working through feelings of shame and isolation, I'm here to support you at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
