About Alicia
Alicia Gard is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and helps them make practical changes to how they think and respond. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and impulsivity.
Alicia also supports people facing addiction, trauma and unresolved grief. She pays attention to patterns that come from family history, attachment wounds, and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
She works on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, isolation, and coping with major life changes. Her style is warm and respectful. Alicia avoids one-size-fits-all plans and builds treatment around each person’s needs.
Sessions mix listening, skill-building, and reflection so people can try new ways of handling intense feelings and urges. She draws on several approaches to guide the work, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Those methods help with identifying emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and making values-based choices.
Alicia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person chooses Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time based on therapist availability.

Online support
How Alicia’s approaches translate to online care
Alicia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal life. EFT helps name feelings and the patterns they create so a person can respond differently to stress and attachment wounds.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes when old habits get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time as needs change and progress becomes clearer.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for conversational work and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or have shorter focused conversations. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
