About Alicia

Dr. Alicia Moran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 29 years of clinical experience. She focuses on work and wellbeing related concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, and coping with life changes. Her approach centers on helping people increase emotional awareness so they can make different choices for themselves.

Dr. Moran frames therapy around emotional intelligence and understanding how past beliefs shape present reactions. She offers a conversational style where people can talk through difficult memories, guilt, or shame without being told what to do. The goal is to surface options and let each person choose the path that fits them.

Her background includes long-term practice addressing trauma, mood disorders, panic, and grief, along with issues like anger, self-esteem, and social anxiety. She also works with parenting concerns, first responder stress, and problems tied to family of origin. This range gives practical experience with common work and wellbeing challenges.

Therapy sessions mix approaches to meet immediate needs and longer term goals. Dr. Moran blends techniques to help with thinking patterns, emotional reactions, and relationships. Sessions typically focus on developing clearer emotional awareness and learning manageable steps to cope during stressful periods.

People looking for help with life transitions, workplace stress, or emotional overwhelm will find a steady, collaborative presence. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step guide next actions with the therapist.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Dr. Moran uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotional awareness and practical change. One approach she uses helps people identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and depression; it teaches simple, repeatable steps to shift unhelpful thinking. Another strand of her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past family beliefs shape current feelings and behaviors, which can help with relationship patterns and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to keep using.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also remove the need to be on camera for every meeting, which some people prefer. Licensed professionals can support the same kinds of therapeutic work online that they do in person, while tailoring sessions to fit each person’s day-to-day life.
