About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 29 years of experience. She combines long practice with a focus on emotional awareness to help people move through intense feelings such as anger, grief, and anxiety.
She begins by helping people notice how past beliefs shape their present reactions. Sessions emphasize understanding emotional triggers and learning choices for responding differently. The approach is conversational and grounded rather than prescriptive.
Background and approach
Clients are invited to name what matters and choose next steps that fit their life. In session she draws on a mix of familiar therapeutic methods. The work can include looking at past patterns, questioning unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new ways of handling strong emotions.
The goal is clearer emotional awareness and more options for action when stress or anger rises. Dr. Moran has long experience helping people with trauma, addiction-related issues, parenting stress, and mood concerns.
She also supports those wrestling with guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Many people seek her help for panic, post-traumatic stress, and difficulty managing control or communication problems. She practices in the District of Columbia and offers sessions in English.
Conversations can be direct and practical, with space to reflect. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Dr. Moran draws on evidence-based techniques that help people understand and shift emotional patterns. One common approach she uses is examining thoughts that drive feelings and behavior - asking which beliefs are helping or harming you and trying alternative ways of thinking. This helps with anxiety, anger, and mood challenges. Another approach focuses on exploring past patterns and family of origin issues to see how early experiences shape current reactions; that work can reduce repeated conflict and improve emotional control.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. Together they test methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the person's preferences and daily demands in mind.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or fitting a session into a busy day.
