About Alicia

Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. She supports adolescents and adults through emotional ups and downs and major life transitions. Her approach is direct and respectful, made to feel safe for someone coming in worried or unsure.

Alicia uses practical tools to reduce worry and manage strong emotions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT-informed skills for handling intense feelings and improving emotional regulation.

Background and approach

She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals and build on strengths. Her work is trauma-informed and attentive to experiences such as abuse, crisis, and separation. When faith matters to a client, she can include Christian beliefs and values in the conversation.

Sessions emphasize dignity, respect, and understanding while focusing on concrete steps forward. In sessions she aims for an interactive style that coaches skills and practices new ways of coping. Communication problems, attachment concerns, control issues, and relationship ruptures are common topics she addresses.

She also supports people dealing with anger, feelings of emptiness, guilt, or struggles after infidelity. With twelve years of experience, Alicia tailors care to each person's needs. She helps people identify patterns, try new strategies, and track small wins that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alicia commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. These methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different ways of thinking to reduce distress.

She also uses DBT-informed skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those skills are useful for managing anger, improving reactions during conflict, and staying grounded after traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, life situation, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting as needed rather than using a single method for everyone.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then discuss how those practices went in the next session.
