Background and approach
Over 26 years in practice she has supported people facing grief, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar mood differences. She also works with people affected by abuse and trauma. Her approach centers on cooperation between therapist and client.
Alicia invites people to help set their own goals and to shape the plan of care. She uses methods drawn from attachment-focused work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior techniques, and mindfulness to match each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
She also discusses life stressors like money and career when they affect mental health. Alicia aims to create a space where people can talk frankly and find concrete strategies to improve day-to-day functioning. She provides care from Idaho and conducts sessions in English.
People coming to her can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with problem-solving.
Therapeutic options and how they work online
Alicia uses several practical approaches that translate well to online sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions; it helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust and how to change them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to shift them, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy adds simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus during hard moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques based on what helps most, and she checks in regularly to refine the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be a flexible option with less bandwidth, chat and text are useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to keep consistent work on goals from wherever someone is located within Idaho, while still using evidence-informed approaches.
