About Alicia

Alicia Betancourt is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of practice guiding people through difficult transitions and persistent concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Alicia focuses on identifying clients' existing strengths and building practical plans to move forward when individual efforts have felt stalled.

Her work also addresses self-esteem, anger, career issues, compassion fatigue, and family dynamics, alongside a wide range of additional areas including geriatric matters, blended family issues, personality and behavioral concerns, and recovery following traumatic brain injury or disasters.

Alicia welcomes people who need attentive listening and collaborative planning, and she offers therapy in formats that suit different lifestyles and needs. She practices in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and uses evidence-informed strategies to tailor care to each person's goals.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Care

Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based approaches that focus on skills and problem solving. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. These interventions emphasize real-world skill building to change how situations are perceived and managed.

Another common focus is strengths-based planning and solution-focused work, which centers on clients' existing resources and creates step-by-step plans to reach personal goals. This style is useful for coping with life changes, career decisions, relationship stresses, and burnout like compassion fatigue because it helps translate insight into manageable actions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across busy lives, and make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from their own environments while working toward their therapeutic goals.
