How her methods translate to online sessions
Alicia frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. In practice this means identifying specific thoughts that increase anxiety and trying small, doable experiments to test different ways of thinking or behaving. This approach is helpful for social anxiety, worry, and mood concerns.She also uses DBT-informed skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical and can be practiced in between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve how someone manages strong feelings or difficult social situations.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to identify what methods fit their goals and preferences, check how strategies are working, and adjust plans as needed. The focus is on clear steps and skills you can try between meetings.
