About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she works from Florida.
Alicia focuses on creating a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what is bothering them. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and behavior. Practical steps and clearer ways to respond to anger and stress are part of how she works.
Her approach draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or anger and to test different responses. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the persons own goals central and supports them in finding their best next steps.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships. Mindfulness techniques are also offered to slow down reactions and increase awareness of the body and breath. Existential ideas may come in when people wrestle with meaning, choice, or life transitions.
Alicia has worked across many settings during her career and brings that practical experience into sessions. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches adapt to online sessions
Alicia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that sustain anger or anxiety and trying small, practical experiments to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and preferences, with the therapist offering listening and reflection to help the person decide what to try next.She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people name strong feelings and see how those emotions affect relationships and reactions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to increase moment-to-moment awareness and to reduce automatic reactivity in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to find practical ways to respond differently to anger and stress.
The biography does not specify available online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help people maintain regular contact while working on behavior, emotional awareness, and coping skills.
