Alicia Woodrum

Alicia Woodrum is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. She works in Maine and focuses on helping individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, panic, and the wear of everyday pressures. She also pays attention to concerns like isolation and loneliness and the specific strains those bring.

Her style is compassionate and collaborative. Sessions are a place to talk through what feels overwhelming and to try practical ways to cope. She helps clients name patterns, practice new communication strategies, and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Alicia has worked across settings, including home and community services with young children and support for their caregivers, outpatient therapy for pre-teens and teens, and care for adults and older adults. That range has given her experience addressing caregiver stress, Alzheimer’s and dementia related concerns, and identity and self-esteem work.

She relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and focuses on skills people can use between meetings. Typical goals include reducing panic attacks, managing seasonal mood changes, improving social confidence, and finding clearer purpose in midlife or young adulthood.

People who choose her can expect a steady, practical approach. She aims to help clients build connection, handle life transitions, and lessen the isolation that often comes with mental health struggles.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

This practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in accessible, practical terms. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations - to reduce immediate distress and build confidence. Another common strand emphasizes behavioral routines and activity planning to address depression and seasonal mood changes, helping clients reintroduce rewarding activities and structure into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick or adapt methods that fit their goals, preferences, and how they like to learn. That means trying things, checking what helps, and changing course when needed so efforts feel useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills between meetings and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
