About Alicia
LCSW in Illinois with 12 years of experience, Alicia Redmond helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. She supports adults and adolescents who are dealing with difficult life events, relationship strain, and emotional dysregulation. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on solving current problems.
Alicia uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy practices to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy-informed skills for emotion regulation and impulse control, plus motivational interviewing to help people clarify and pursue their goals.
Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse, and she has experience with clients who have experienced crisis and domestic violence. She addresses attachment and intimacy concerns such as abandonment, infidelity, and communication problems. She also helps people managing personality-related challenges like avoidant or antisocial traits when these affect daily life.
Alicia offers faith-sensitive care for clients who want their Christian beliefs considered in sessions. She frames treatment around practical strategies - skill building, short-term goal setting, and clearer communication. Progress is tracked by changes in coping skills and daily functioning rather than abstract measures.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In practice this means working together on clear goals, trying specific behavioral experiments, and reviewing what did or did not help between sessions.DBT-informed skills emphasize practical tools for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive responses. These are taught as step-by-step techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and preferences and collaborate on which techniques to emphasize. That plan can change as progress and feedback guide the next steps.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the intake to learn which session arrangements are offered and which will fit daily routines best.
