About Alisia
Alisia Quigley-Holmbeck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems.
Her background includes psychiatric crisis work and several animal-assisted modalities, including equine-assisted psychotherapy and therapeutic riding. Those experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions include direct conversation and techniques that aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and build daily coping skills.
Quigley-Holmbeck favors a strengths-based stance. She helps people notice skills they already use and apply them to social, emotional, behavioral, and biological challenges. She may use well-timed humor to lower tension when it seems helpful and appropriate.
Her approach is straightforward and task-focused when needed. She works with clients to set realistic goals and break them into small steps. Progress is reviewed in simple terms, and adjustments are made based on what feels useful.
People who choose her often want practical tools for everyday life. She supports clients through change, grief, or rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Illinois practice and license.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they help online
Alisia Quigley-Holmbeck draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on developing practical coping strategies for anxiety and depression - this includes learning breathing and grounding techniques, planning small behavioral experiments, and building routines to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which involves pacing conversations about difficult experiences, teaching emotion regulation skills, and restoring a sense of control over daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what is effective. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay focused on concrete next steps and real-world improvements.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. When available, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between commitments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid camera use if that helps them participate. These practical options can make it simpler to keep continuity and apply new skills between meetings.
