About Alicia
Alicia Betancourt is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 11 years of practice to support people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and life changes. She works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Alicia aims to build simple plans clients can use between meetings and listens carefully to each person’s concerns.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She starts by identifying strengths a person may be overlooking. Then she helps set clear, achievable goals and breaks them into manageable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and concrete ways to get there. She has experience helping people cope with depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and career stress, anger, and compassion fatigue. Alicia also supports those dealing with self-esteem issues, transitions, and grief.
She includes attention to cultural factors and can adapt strategies for hearing-impaired clients. Alicia works with issues related to personality differences, codependency, blended family dynamics, and challenges such as phobias, paranoia, and traumatic brain injury. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns and the effects of disasters on daily functioning.
Her sessions may involve problem-solving, skill building, and planning for practical next steps. People who prefer straightforward, actionable guidance often find this style helpful. To begin, she asks clients about their goals and builds a plan together.
Practical approaches and online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One approach focuses on building concrete skills to manage stress and anxiety through step-by-step practice and behavior changes. This helps people who need tools to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines.Another approach centers on identifying strengths and setting small, achievable goals. Sessions break larger problems into manageable tasks, which can be useful for people coping with ADHD, transitions, or low motivation. The work emphasizes clear plans and practice between meetings rather than only talking about problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. She invites feedback and works at a pace that fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
