About Alicia
Alicia Colon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and motivation issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and related struggles. Alicia describes clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address immediate problems.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in close relationships. She helps people name what is happening and try specific steps to change it. This can include practicing clearer boundaries, managing intense emotions, and rebuilding confidence.
Her approach is practical and focused on what someone can do between meetings. She supports people who are coping with life changes, caregiver stress, grief, or mood challenges including bipolar disorder. Alicia also addresses intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, work and career pressures, and the effects of isolation or compassion fatigue.
Clients often want help sorting through complicated relationships, including issues connected to codependency, control, jealousy, or domestic violence. Alicia works with people on communication problems, blended family dynamics, fertility-related stress, and forgiveness as part of recovery and moving forward.
She offers therapy in English from her Massachusetts practice and uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and strengthening coping skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying recurring relationship and behavior patterns, then practicing concrete alternatives in session and between meetings. This helps with people-pleasing, boundary setting, and communication problems.Another approach centers on emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. It teaches simple tools to notice strong feelings, reduce impulsive responses, and handle anger or anxiety more effectively. These skills are useful for stress, mood swings, and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan based on what works for the client.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and role-plays to work well through remote sessions while focusing on practical change rather than theoretical discussion.
