About Alicia

Alicia Stone is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and with those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, career strain, self-esteem issues, and LGBT-related matters. She also focuses on communication problems and social anxiety and phobia.

She uses Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused strategies to help people manage symptoms and find practical ways forward. Sessions involve identifying clear goals, testing small changes between meetings, and noticing what helps in daily life. The work is straightforward and action-oriented, with space to talk through feelings and choices.

Alicia has experience supporting people with developmental and special needs concerns as part of broader care and resource navigation. She also helps individuals and families connect with services and community supports when that is useful.

Her approach emphasizes learning skills that can be used outside sessions. That may include experimenting with new behaviors, practicing coping tools, and adjusting plans when something is not working. Progress is tracked by the client’s goals and what feels manageable week to week.

She conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Her practice draws on Cognitive-Behavioral methods and Solution-Focused techniques. Cognitive-Behavioral work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test new ways of coping with anxiety and phobia. Solution-Focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and the client’s existing strengths to produce change more quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful and practical based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the patterns they want to change. That collaboration guides which skills and exercises are tried in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by shortening travel time, offering quicker check-ins between commitments, or allowing work around different time zones. Licensed professionals can adapt behavioral exercises and short homework tasks to a remote setting so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
