About Alicia

Alicia Whitaker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and supports people navigating major life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward, so clients know what to expect from the first session.

Alicia's style is collaborative and practical. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try small, workable changes. Sessions aim to slow things down, build clarity, and create steps that fit daily life. She uses everyday language and keeps goals realistic.

People come to Alicia with a range of concerns, including body image, attachment issues, communication problems, and workplace stress. She also addresses mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and the strain of divorce or separation. Her work includes supporting self-love and managing impulsivity.

With five years of experience, Alicia blends direct feedback with steady support. She encourages honesty and gives straightforward tools clients can practice between sessions. The pace is set by each person’s needs, so progress can look different for everyone.

Therapy begins by identifying what matters most to the client and setting small, measurable steps. Alicia meets people where they are and helps them build stronger patterns over time. If someone is ready to begin, she guides the next steps and keeps the process manageable.

Approaches that guide online work and choosing what fits

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and skill building. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing patterns that keep someone stuck, helping with anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship problems by practicing new responses. Another approach focuses on building healthier attachment and communication habits, which can reduce loneliness, improve relationship interactions, and support recovery after separation or loss.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they set small, achievable goals and adjust methods based on what helps most in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session format options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into busy routines. It can allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoid travel time, and be useful when bandwidth is limited or video is not preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions for remote sessions so practical skills and communication exercises still translate into everyday life.
