About Alicia
Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and family concerns. Her description mentions additional focuses such as attachment and communication problems, grief around separation, and problems like guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
She draws on several practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Alicia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings dialectical behavior therapy - informed skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas appear when clients want to set specific goals and build step-by-step plans.
Her approach is described as interactive and trauma-informed. Sessions typically include talking through recent events, practicing skills in the moment, and planning short, doable steps between meetings. She can incorporate faith-sensitive care when clients request attention to Christian beliefs and values.
Alicia has experience supporting people who have experienced abuse or crisis and those facing major life transitions. She helps people work through issues such as abandonment, dissociation, domestic violence, and infidelity by focusing on concrete skills and clearer communication. The emphasis is on recognizing patterns, learning coping strategies, and trying small changes that feel manageable.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Alicia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try new ways of responding; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy informed skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and intense emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then suggest methods to try. That plan can be revised as progress is reviewed, so treatment stays collaborative and responsive to the client's needs.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact and to practice skills between meetings, while shorter check-ins can fit into work breaks or busy days.
