About Alicia
Alicia Dmochowski is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She focuses on common and persistent struggles like stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Alicia aims to offer steady, practical support rather than quick fixes.
She speaks English and works with adults online through video, phone, chat, and messaging. Alicia keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals.
Background and approach
Conversations and plans are adapted to each person’s situation. That can mean shorter check-ins, weekly sessions, or a mix of written and live formats. Her background includes a decade working alongside people facing tough life events and long-term concerns.
She has helped with challenges tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and caregiver stress. Alicia also supports people dealing with chronic pain or long-term illness, body image, codependency, and communication or control issues. In session, she aims to create a calm, direct space for talking through problems and experimenting with new ways of coping.
Treatment focuses on skills you can use between sessions, clearer communication, and reducing overwhelming thoughts or behaviors. Progress is tracked in simple, measurable steps. Starting therapy with Alicia involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits your needs.
She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and lifestyles.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. That often includes learning breathing and grounding exercises, scheduling small behavioral steps, and tracking progress over time. Another approach targets patterns that keep problems going, such as strong reactions to past trauma or ways of relating that cause conflict. Work here involves identifying those patterns and trying new, healthier responses in everyday situations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia listens to what matters most to the client and adjusts methods based on goals, comfort, and what proves helpful. She discusses options openly and refines the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people connect face to face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when scheduling around a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment routines.
