About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of practice. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She also focuses on issues such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, and self-harm.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotion-focused work. She uses clear, practical techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
Alicia aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. People are encouraged to talk about what is most pressing. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then offers specific strategies to test new ways of responding.
She also integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives when they fit a person's concerns. Mindfulness tools are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions. Existential ideas help people clarify values and what matters to them now.
Alicia works in English and practices in Florida. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counseling subscription can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How CBT and related approaches are used for online sessions
Many of Alicia's methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors with small experiments; it helps with anxiety, panic, phobias, and low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters to them and feel heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings show up in relationships and helps people practice different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and discuss which combination of CBT, client-centered exercises, or emotion-focused techniques is most useful. Decisions are collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
