About Alicia
Alicia Frank is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Sessions begin with practical conversation about what feels hardest right now. She keeps language direct and straightforward so people can focus on what to do next.
Her background includes several therapeutic approaches. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at how emotions and interaction patterns affect close relationships. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
A typical session involves talking through recent problems, noticing emotional reactions, and trying small changes between meetings. She encourages identifying patterns that keep difficulties in place and testing new ways of responding. Work may include grounding or mindfulness practices to manage intense feelings.
Clients often arrive wanting help with a specific problem such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or the fallout of separation and divorce. Sessions can also address domestic violence impacts, self-harm, phobias, and compulsive behaviors. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures.
Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How EFT and practical therapies work in online sessions
Alicia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name difficult emotions and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. EFT in her practice focuses on recognizing interaction cycles and shifting responses so interactions feel less stuck.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s perspective central, helping people lead the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting exercises and choosing what to try next based on how a person responds in early sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They can also let clients use quieter surroundings, switch off video for lower bandwidth, or schedule meetings during a lunch break to keep momentum between appointments.
