Alicia Redmond

Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people feeling lonely, isolated, or overwhelmed by stress. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her approach is steady and caring, aimed at making conversations feel manageable and useful.

Alicia draws on a range of practical techniques to fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She teaches skills borrowed from dialectical behavior therapy to help with strong emotions and impulse control. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are part of her toolbox when people want clear, goal-driven steps.

Her practice pays attention to how past hurt and attachment patterns shape current relationships. She has experience helping people who have faced abuse, crisis, and big life transitions. When it matters to a client, she offers faith-sensitive care that respects Christian beliefs and values.

Alicia aims to make therapy collaborative and practical. Sessions include skill practice, problem-solving, and working through patterns that keep people feeling stuck. The focus is on small, doable changes that reduce isolation and help build connection.

She brings 12 years of clinical experience in Illinois to her work. People who want straightforward, compassionate support around loneliness, family strain, or trauma may find her approach helpful.

Approaches and what online work looks like

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral ideas help people notice patterns of thinking and try different responses, which can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy offer concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving impulse control, helpful for emotional dysregulation and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a shorter break at work or avoiding commute time. It also lets people continue care when moving within the same state. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking to learn whether video, phone, or other formats are offered. The focus is on making therapy accessible and practically useful for everyday life.
