About Alicia
Alicia Betancourt is a licensed clinical social worker who centers practical, evidence-based care on everyday problems. She brings 11 years of experience and a straightforward style that helps people name and manage what feels overwhelming. Alicia aims to build simple plans that fit each person's life and goals.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and self-esteem challenges. Alicia also helps people coping with grief, career changes, attention-deficit issues, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, and multicultural matters. Alicia prefers clear, collaborative sessions where problems are broken into manageable steps. She listens first, then helps set realistic goals and tools to try between meetings.
Sessions often involve learning coping skills, practicing emotional awareness, and planning small behavior changes. Her work is direct and goal-oriented while remaining compassionate. People who need space to be heard and a plan to move forward find this approach useful.
Alicia also supports those facing phobias, personality patterns, traumatic brain injury effects, and consequences of discrimination. Licensed in Florida as an LCSW, she draws on over a decade of clinical practice to guide care. Conversations are tailored to each person, focusing on what can be changed now and steps to reduce pressure over time.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for stress and anger management such as breathing, grounding, and moment-to-moment awareness to reduce reactivity. Another approach focuses on problem-solving and behavioral strategies to address depression, motivation, and relationship patterns by breaking issues into small, manageable steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between visits. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs while keeping care consistent and practical.
