About Alicia

Alicia Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of clinical experience practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on practical support for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Alicia meets people where they are and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Her method is direct and collaborative. She helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going and then tries simple, realistic changes to daily routines and thinking.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to communication, confidence, and coping during life transitions. Alicia draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches to shape her work. That looks like checking how thoughts affect feelings, practicing calm-awareness skills, and setting short-term, achievable goals.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help making and sticking to changes. Parents and families can expect practical strategies for managing stress, handling conflicts, and improving communication. Alicia also supports concerns around ADHD, bipolar symptoms, substance use, fertility and pregnancy-related mood changes, and workplace or money stress.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started can feel hard, and Alicia aims to keep the process straightforward so people can focus on the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide much of her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to ease symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and parenting overwhelm. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day calm. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy when clients want brief, goal-oriented work. That approach centers on identifying small, practical steps that move someone toward the life they want, often producing quick, usable changes. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; the therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone, live chat, and text options let people check in between meetings or choose a format that feels less formal. These options are designed to increase flexibility and help people maintain momentum even when life is hectic.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
