Alicia Frank, LMHC

Alicia Frank is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of professional experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and addictions. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She centers sessions on listening without judgment. Clients are invited to talk about what they are feeling and thinking, and to set goals that matter to them. The approach is practical and down-to-earth, with attention to building confidence and motivation.

Alicia blends several therapeutic styles to suit each person. She uses client-centered work to follow what the person needs in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding and shifting emotional experiences in relationships.

Her background includes many years helping people navigate crisis and long-term stress. She draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help clients find meaning and steadiness amid struggle. Sessions are paced to match each person’s readiness for change.

People can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach that emphasizes practical steps. The focus is on real problems like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, the fallout of separation, and addictive behaviors. Alicia encourages small, steady progress toward clearer thinking and calmer daily life.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Alicia uses client-centered work to follow what each person brings to a session, focusing on listening and understanding before offering direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, and compulsive behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotions and how they show up in relationships, useful for sorting strong feelings and improving emotional responses.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods match the client's goals and preferences. Sessions evolve over time, and the plan can be adjusted together as needs change.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as fitting a check-in during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter phone-style check-ins or longer video sessions depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
