Dr. Alicia Moran, LPC - Therapist in District of Columbia

About Alicia

Dr. Alicia Moran brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to her work in the District of Columbia. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - holding licenses SC LPC 8815 and AZ LPC 22180.

Her practice centers on emotional awareness and practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on helping parents and individuals find useful ways to cope day to day.

Background and approach

Her style is conversational and grounded. Sessions emphasize understanding how past beliefs shape current feelings. She encourages clients to weigh options rather than handing out advice.

The goal is to help people make choices that fit their life and values. Dr. Moran draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques and relational work.

She tailors sessions to each person’s pace, addressing anger, self-esteem, panic, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation. Therapy can include short-term coaching-style work or deeper reflective exploration.

Dr. Moran uses tools that help with coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer decision-making. Her approach aims to make emotional changes feel manageable and real in daily life.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dr. Moran uses several evidence-based approaches in straightforward ways. One approach emphasizes emotional awareness - helping people notice the thoughts and feelings that drive behavior and learn simple skills to respond differently. This helps with stress, panic, and mood swings. Another approach borrows from rational emotive ideas - identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing them against real-life outcomes to reduce anxiety and shame. That work often supports better self-esteem and clearer choices.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques fit day-to-day life and parenting demands.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier around family and work. They also let people use short check-ins or longer sessions depending on immediate needs. The flexible formats aim to make getting help practical and consistent without having to travel.
