About Alicia
Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and family concerns. Alicia also supports people facing relationship strain, major life changes, and emotional dysregulation.
Alicia’s approach is practical and interactive. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT-informed skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when clients want to clarify goals and take small, achievable steps.
Clients who wish to include their Christian faith in sessions can request faith-sensitive care. Alicia has worked with people who have experienced abuse, crisis, separation, and loss, and she draws on that background when safety and past trauma are part of the picture. She pays attention to communication patterns, control issues, impulsivity, and attachment concerns.
Sessions focus on practical tools you can use between meetings. That can mean skills for calming down, scripts for difficult conversations, or short experiments to shift behavior. Alicia emphasizes strengthening coping strategies for daily life and reducing the moments when anger or resentment take over.
To begin, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How Alicia uses evidence-based methods online
Alicia uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior and skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses; it helps identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anger and tests alternative ways of thinking and acting. DBT-informed skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication techniques for heated moments.Deciding which techniques to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review what is causing difficulty, what has worked before, and what fits the person’s goals. That lets them try a few approaches and keep what helps most while dropping what does not fit.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as current options are listed during sign-up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick skills review is needed. Some people prefer video when they want visual feedback on breathing and posture, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or a phone-style check-in. Alicia will discuss which option matches your needs and daily schedule when you set up your first meeting.
