About Alicia
Alicia Mardirosian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. Alicia also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, career uncertainty, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and concerns about meaning and life purpose.
She uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's experience and priorities. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Alicia describes sessions as structured but conversational. Sessions last 30 minutes and are paced to fit what someone needs week to week. She asks questions, offers observations, and works with each person to set realistic goals and steps toward them.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and additional training in grief and bereavement plus couples and family therapy. That experience informs how she helps people manage loss, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.
When people feel stuck after a job change, a breakup, or a health shift, she helps them sort priorities and consider practical next steps. The focus is on developing coping skills, improving communication, and reconnecting with what matters now.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach emphasize what matters most to the client and follow their pace to set goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT can include worksheets, behavioral experiments to try between meetings, and step-by-step skill practice for anxiety, depression, panic, or mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and adjusted as progress and feedback shape the work.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when weeks are busy, and the ability to join from different locations when needed. The biography lists video, phone, and messaging formats, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions are intended to help people fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on skills, communication, and meaning rather than promising specific results.
