Alicia Lee

Alicia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style and invites honest conversation so people can bring what they’re feeling without having to find the perfect words first. Sessions can include laughter, real talk, and moments of hard questioning as needed.

Her practice focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, career stress, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns like self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Alicia lists a broad set of additional focus areas she works with, including attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiving burden, and kink/BDSM topics.

Alicia uses a collaborative, conversational approach and does not rely on silence as the whole session. She balances support with challenge, helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of responding. The goal is progress you notice in daily life rather than abstract change.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches inform practical tools such as values-based choices, thought work, emotion-focused exercises, and relational exploring.

Alicia has four years of clinical experience and practices in Connecticut. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches guide online sessions

Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on choosing meaningful steps even when thoughts or feelings feel overwhelming and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternative perspectives. CBT offers concrete exercises to shift behaviors and reduce symptoms linked to mood, sleep, or worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will help figure out what fits a client's goals and preferences. She may combine methods or focus on one style depending on how someone responds during early sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions without a commute, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to work well in remote formats while focusing on the same practical changes they would pursue in person.
