About Ahlicia

Ahlicia Tramel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help families and parents facing stress and life transitions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings and building skills that fit family life.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That means conversations start where each person is and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people working through changes like substance use or difficult habits. With 12 years of experience in Florida, Ahlicia has worked with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. She lists divorce and separation, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse among areas she addresses.

Her practice includes attention to ADHD, bipolar disorder, and young adult issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing families to connect in ways that suit their schedules.

Ahlicia emphasizes practical plans that fit daily life and simple language to explain steps forward. Her approach centers on collaboration and clear goals. Parents and family members leave sessions with specific strategies to try at home and a shared plan for what to work on next.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build trust so parents and family members can talk about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Those skills are useful for day-to-day parenting challenges and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic for their family. Together they choose or combine methods that match the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that’s helpful, while phone and chat options can suit shorter check-ins or times when a full video session isn’t possible. This flexibility helps parents keep continuity of care and practice new strategies between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
