She can discuss financial worries as part of therapy, drawing on additional training in financial coaching.

Alicia blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns, client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are available when they fit the plan.

Clients can expect a collaborative process. Alicia believes people do best when they take part in setting treatment goals and when the therapist stays open and nonjudgmental. Her background includes licensure in Idaho and Washington and many years helping people with trauma, anxiety, and complex life stressors.

For someone seeking practical, steady support, Alicia offers clear conversations and tools aimed at daily life. She encourages prospective clients to start by describing their main struggles so a working plan can be made together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alicia commonly draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. That approach helps people notice recurring relationship habits and try new ways of relating. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the focus on the person's priorities and experience, letting the client guide what is most important to address.

She pairs those foundations with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and shifting daily routines. Together these approaches give a mix of exploring relationship patterns and practicing concrete coping skills in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. This means sessions can change over time as needs shift and as new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
