About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran brings nearly three decades of counseling experience to her work in the District of Columbia. She holds the LPC credential and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, mood struggles, panic episodes, and life transitions. She welcomes straightforward conversation and practical choices rather than simple advice.
Her style begins with emotional awareness. She helps people notice how past beliefs shape present feelings and reactions. That awareness becomes the starting point for deciding what to change and what to accept. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping each person find approaches that fit their life.
Dr. Moran draws from a blend of methods to meet different needs. She uses problem-focused tools when people want clear steps to reduce anxiety or regain control. She also works with deeper patterns that underlie repeated problems, like family of origin issues or guilt and shame.
People who come with panic attacks or panic disorder can expect grounded, practical work that looks at triggers, coping options, and everyday routines that support steadiness. She also helps people facing grief, anger, isolation, or questions about life purpose to sort priorities and build skills for day-to-day living.
Her approach is collaborative. She offers options and supports clients as they try them out. The aim is to help people make realistic changes that fit their values and daily responsibilities.
Evidence-based approaches and how they adapt online
Dr. Moran integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One approach she uses focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and beliefs that fuel anxiety and panic; it helps people notice triggers and try new, manageable responses. Another strand emphasizes emotional awareness and insight, tracing how past beliefs shape current feelings so clients can make informed choices about change.Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, adjust direction, and choose skills that fit their goals and daily life. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful as therapy progresses.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people find that remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the time of commuting. Licensed professionals can tailor session pace, homework, and practical tools so therapy fits day-to-day demands while addressing panic, anxiety, and related concerns.
