About Alicia
Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 12 years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and family concerns. She also addresses related issues like attachment and communication problems, separation and divorce, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Alicia typically sees adolescents and adults and has experience with clients who have faced crisis, abuse, and major life transitions. She uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions and helps people build practical coping tools for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can take between meetings.
Her approach is interactive and trauma-informed. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior concepts, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to structure work and teach skills. When faith matters to a client, she can incorporate Christian values into sessions on request.
Alicia pays attention to how past relationships and attachment affect current behavior. She helps people work through issues like abandonment, dissociation, impulsivity, and difficulties with control and trust. Conversations often include problem-solving and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions.
People who come for help can expect clear feedback, practical exercises, and planning for real-life situations. The emphasis is on manageable changes that fit daily routines and responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach focuses on practical exercises and clear steps that can reduce worry, low mood, and avoidance.She also incorporates dialectical behavior concepts to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. These techniques help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships involve frequent conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She reviews progress and explains why a given strategy is being used so clients understand the plan.
Confirm the 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 life by reducing travel time and allowing scheduling around work or parenting responsibilities. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits a person’s needs. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep care practical and manageable for daily life.
