About Alicia

Alicia Colon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 26 years of experience. She works with people who bring concerns like relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, sleep struggles, and parenting strain. Her practice also covers issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with major life changes.

She begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying what they already do well. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Alicia uses straightforward conversation to spot patterns that keep problems going and to test new ways of responding.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through difficult transitions and sustained stress. This history informs a focus on skills that help with emotion regulation, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence after painful experiences. She pays attention to how day-to-day routines like sleep and work affect mood and coping.

Alicia helps people sort through relationship and intimacy-related issues by breaking them into manageable parts. She addresses anger and impulsivity with concrete techniques and practice. For those facing caregiving or blended-family pressures, she looks at boundaries and realistic expectations.

People interested in beginning work with Alicia are invited to use the site’s matching steps to schedule an initial session. The first meeting typically clarifies goals and outlines short-term steps, while also considering longer-term concerns such as mood disorders and compassion fatigue.

How evidence-based methods are used in online care

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and practical changes. One common approach is skills-based work to manage strong emotions and impulsivity, which involves identifying triggers and practicing new responses in small steps. This can help with anger, mood swings, and stress-related reactions.

Another frequent method focuses on behavior and routine adjustments that affect sleep, mood, and daily functioning. This work looks at simple changes to sleep habits, activity levels, and problem-solving routines that can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety over time.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current concerns, personal goals, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they choose strategies to try and adjust them based on what the client finds helpful.
