About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Alicia focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard things and find clearer direction.
She uses straightforward, practical methods. Sessions often start with what feels most urgent for the client. Over time she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and actions, then try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Alicia draws from client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about important relationships and how feelings get expressed.
People come to her for a range of concerns including trauma, anger, obsessive or panic symptoms, phobias, and problems tied to divorce or domestic violence. She also supports those struggling with self-harm thoughts, low self-esteem, and motivation to change. Her manner is direct but compassionate.
She encourages steady progress over quick fixes and helps people set realistic goals. If someone wants to try a different approach she works together with them to find what fits best.
How Alicia’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Alicia often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is guided by the client’s concerns and goals, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or compulsive patterns.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and strong feelings are central to the concern. That approach looks at how emotions shape interactions and helps people shift how they express needs and respond to others. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and Alicia treats that as a collaboration. Together, the therapist and client will try methods and adjust them based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress without traveling to appointments.
