Alicia Betancourt , LCSW

Alicia Betancourt is a Florida licensed clinical social worker who has been providing therapy since 2011. She focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach centers on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build a clear plan with each person. Sessions emphasize finding strengths and small actions that move things forward. Alicia also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, career strain, and relationship stress.

Her background includes work with teenagers and with people who have disabilities, and she is experienced supporting multicultural concerns and hearing-impaired clients. Alicia has spent over a decade in clinical practice in Florida and brings that experience to questions about coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she listens first, then helps set concrete goals. That might mean a new coping skill, clearer communication steps, or pacing through grief. She aims for simple, workable plans that fit into everyday routines.

People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The process is meant to help match needs and availability so work can begin on the goals that matter most.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills that reduce daily stress and anxiety; it helps people manage emotions and improve functioning. Another approach emphasizes goal setting and small behavioral changes to lift mood and address depression or low motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that fit a work break or a busy week. Some people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during major life changes, while others prefer to try different approaches until they find what helps most.
