About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 29 years of clinical experience based in the District of Columbia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and coaching. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, family of origin concerns, and first responder issues among other related difficulties.
She centers her work on emotional intelligence as a framework for understanding how past beliefs shape present feelings. That means helping people notice how thoughts and emotions interact. Her aim is to increase awareness so people have clearer options for responding, rather than prescribing what they should do.
Her approach is integrated. She draws on rational emotive behavioral ideas, reality theory, psychodynamic perspectives, and person-centered methods. Those influences mean sessions can include examining long-standing patterns, looking at immediate choices, and focusing on current emotional experience.
She has specialized and certified experience in trauma, addictions, and adolescent disorders including behavioral issues and attention-deficit/hyperactivity concerns. Her background includes practice across several states, and she brings that long-term clinical experience to individual work in the District of Columbia.
People who meet with her should expect a conversational style that emphasizes understanding emotions and making practical choices. The work involves talking through reactions, identifying patterns from the past, and deciding on steps that fit each person's life. To begin, follow the site's matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions cover
Dr. Moran draws on rational emotive behavioral ideas, which look at how thinking patterns influence feelings and behavior. This approach helps when anxiety, anger, or self-criticism keep someone stuck by identifying and changing unhelpful beliefs.She also uses person-centered methods that focus on attending to emotional experience in the moment. That work supports building awareness of feelings like grief, shame, or emptiness and using that awareness to make clearer choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as issues evolve and as different techniques prove helpful.
