About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to make each person feel heard and respected from the first visit.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs, whether that means working through panic attacks, managing persistent worry, or building confidence after a relationship change. Alicia emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional support.
Alicia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness practices when they suit a client’s goals. Together these methods can address panic disorder and related phobias while strengthening coping skills.
Her work includes supporting people affected by divorce and separation, domestic violence, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, addictions, anger, and self-harm concerns. Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and reduce distress through concrete tools and steady encouragement.
Clients can expect a collaborative relationship that balances practical strategies with empathetic listening. Alicia helps people set realistic goals and take small steps toward more manageable days.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alicia frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. This approach helps people feel understood and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches clear, practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and panic.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust techniques over time. Clients help set priorities and decide whether to emphasize emotional processing, skills practice, or a mix of both.
