About Alicia
Alicia Bellman is a licensed mental health counselor who centers sessions on each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered approaches to guide conversations and help people find practical ways to cope. Alicia’s background as a retired nurse and a long-time military spouse shapes her understanding of stress and the pressures that come with service and caregiving.
She has seven years of professional experience and works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Alicia also addresses compassion fatigue and the slow wear of chronic stress. Her experience living with paraplegia for 25 years informs how she supports others through adjusting to a changed body or routine.
Alicia uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to change unhelpful thoughts and build emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are offered for handling overwhelming moments and setting clear short-term goals.
Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and straightforward talk. Alicia tailors conversations and plans to concrete daily life tasks, not abstract theory. She aims to help people identify small steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier coping.
People who want a collaborative approach will find an emphasis on practical skills and steady support. Alicia encourages gentle progress over time and works to create a nonjudgmental space for emotional growth.
How Alicia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Alicia uses client-centered therapy as a foundation, which means she adapts sessions to each person’s needs and pace and focuses on listening and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotional regulation and coping strategies for intense emotions and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills practice, DBT strategies, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can simplify follow-up between sessions and make doing in-the-moment exercises more practical for day-to-day life. Licensed professionals like Alicia aim to match the approach and schedule to what actually fits into a person’s routine.
