About Alicia

Alicia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style and prefers real conversation over long silences. Sessions may include laughter, honest feedback, and gentle challenges to help people see patterns that keep them stuck.

Her approach blends collaboration with direct questions. Alicia balances support with calls to action so clients can try new ways of handling difficult moments. She invites people to bring their whole selves, including identities and relationship styles that are often misunderstood.

In practice she works with issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, stress, and major life changes. She also helps with concerns about relationships, intimacy, identity, and self-esteem. Adoption and foster care are noted among her focus areas for those wanting to address those histories.

Alicia draws on methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She aims to match practical strategies to each person’s goals while keeping the process collaborative.

With four years of experience as an LCSW in Connecticut, she seeks to create an affirming, sex-positive, and culturally responsive space. Sessions are offered in English and are meant to combine honest reflection with practical steps toward change.

How Alicia’s approaches can work online

Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while choosing actions that fit personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand connection, trust, and repeating relationship cycles in a straightforward way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia aims to learn about a person's needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. She treats the process as collaborative and will adjust methods as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Many people appreciate online work because it can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on practicing skills between sessions and reviewing real-life examples during meetings.
