About Alicia

Alicia Colon, LICSW, is licensed in Massachusetts and has 26 years of practice experience. She works on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and related issues. She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on using their strengths to face challenges.

Alicia uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She helps people talk through relationship patterns, manage strong emotions, and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. Sessions often include addressing sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and stress from caregiving or work changes.

She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, ADHD challenges, and the fallout from domestic violence or past abuse. Alicia will work with issues such as codependency, communication problems, jealousy, and impulsivity in an explicit, step-by-step way. She lists aging and geriatric issues, blended family issues, fertility concerns, and caregiver stress among her additional focus areas.

Alicia emphasizes collaboration. She helps people identify practical steps and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. The approach is goal-oriented and geared toward clear problem solving rather than abstract discussion.

Her practice attends to both everyday stressors and deeper trauma-related concerns. People can expect focused, direct sessions that prioritize what they want to change and how to get there. The first meeting is used to clarify goals and plan next steps.

How evidence-based methods guide online sessions

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure her work. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem. Trauma-informed strategies emphasize safety and paced processing of difficult memories, which supports healing after abuse or violence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and needs. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep appointments during life changes or caregiving demands. Ask about specific session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first meeting.
