About Alecia

Alecia Beaudry centers her work on practical, relationship-focused therapy that helps people manage stress, parenting concerns, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW with over 22 years in the field and she brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Her approach mixes proven techniques with down-to-earth problem solving.

Many people find her easy to talk to and steady during difficult conversations. Alecia trained at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, completing a master’s degree and an added concentration in marriage and family therapy.

Background and approach

She has worked across a range of clinical settings, giving her experience with both acute psychiatric issues and transitions like job or family changes. That background informs how she blends methods to fit each person’s needs. In practice she uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused work.

Sessions focus on clear skills, improved communication, and problem-solving strategies that can be used right away. She also draws on creative approaches when typical strategies have not worked. Alecia emphasizes the relationship first.

She aims to make people feel comfortable and respected from the first visit. She believes change is possible and works with clients to set realistic goals and practical steps toward a more satisfying life. Her work touches on many areas including family and parenting, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and relationship and intimacy issues.

She also addresses adoption and foster care questions, attachment and blended family concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alecia uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships. That approach helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust and guides work on improving communication and emotional safety.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. CBT work often focuses on small, doable changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change behaviors over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session goals and the tools used between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to continue work between appointments, and to access support from different locations. The formats allow the same therapeutic techniques to be applied in practical, everyday ways so clients can practice skills where they live.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
