About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 23 years of professional experience. She focuses on creating an open space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Alicia emphasizes practical, person-centered care to help people take the first steps toward change.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and to build a trusting relationship. That approach is paired with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness strategies are also introduced to help manage stress and intense emotions.
Alicia has long experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with anger or self-esteem. She also works with those dealing with addictions, relationship struggles, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Specific concerns she addresses include obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, and self-harm.
In sessions, Alicia aims to listen first and then offer practical steps that fit each person's life. She helps people break down problems into manageable pieces and practices new ways of coping. The tone is straightforward and encouraging, with attention to what feels most helpful for each person.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and details about session formats should be confirmed before booking.
How these approaches translate to online work
Alicia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's experience and build a strong working relationship. In practice this means sessions begin with open listening and follow the person’s pace, which can help people feel heard even when working remotely.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT offers clear exercises and homework people can use between sessions to handle anxiety, panic, or compulsive habits. Mindfulness techniques are offered to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines, adjusting as needed until the best mix is found.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Talk with the therapist during the matching and scheduling steps to clarify which session arrangements are available and which will best suit practical needs and goals.
