About Alicia
Alicia Bellman is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, and the upheaval that comes with major life changes. Alicia lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people who feel adrift or unsure what comes next.
Before becoming a counselor she worked as a nurse and has experience as a military spouse. That background informs her work with first responders and military-affiliated clients. She also draws on her personal experience living with paraplegia for over two decades when supporting people adjusting to chronic illness or disability.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques. She explains ideas plainly and helps people practice skills during and between sessions. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than complex theory.
Alicia often addresses practical stresses such as caregiver strain, chronic pain and medical issues, isolation and family of origin problems. She also works with patterns like codependency, impulsivity, dependent personality traits, and jealousy. Life purpose and feelings of emptiness are noted areas she helps people explore.
Her LMHC credential reflects Florida licensure and seven years of practice. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. If you want to check session options, confirm current formats before booking.
