Alicia Bellman, LMHC

Alicia Bellman is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Her background also includes supporting those facing compassion fatigue and concerns such as codependency, family of origin issues, and isolation.

Alicia draws on her prior career as a nurse and her lived experience as a person with a spinal cord injury. That combination shapes a practical approach to therapy and an understanding of adjusting to a changed body or role. She mentions particular familiarity with first responder and military-related stress because of her life as a military spouse.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. She adds mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed work to help people manage symptoms and build day-to-day coping tools. Conversations include skill practice, straightforward psychoeducation, and planning small changes that fit real life.

People often come with problems saying no, feeling emotionally drained, or replaying old family patterns. Alicia helps identify patterns and try different responses step by step. The focus is on practical, doable changes rather than long technical explanations.

Alicia asks clients to take an active role in setting goals and deciding what approaches to use. She describes therapy as collaborative, with attention to how skills will actually fit into work, caregiving, or medical routines. To begin, prospective clients follow the practice's sign-up steps and schedule an initial visit.
