About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 29 years of clinical experience based in the District of Columbia. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues and other relational patterns that affect daily life.
Dr. Moran centers emotional intelligence in her work. She helps people notice how early beliefs and feelings still shape choices now. Sessions focus on understanding emotional responses, not on giving prescriptive advice. She offers options clients can try and decide on for themselves.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice and work with a range of concerns, including panic, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and social anxiety. She names methods from several evidence-based approaches and blends them to address what each person brings to the room. This mix is used to help people clarify thoughts, manage strong feelings, and practice new ways of responding.
In a typical session she listens to what is most pressing, explores the history behind current reactions, and guides practical experiments to shift patterns. Conversations may include looking at control issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, or feelings of emptiness. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions.
People seeking help are invited to start by describing a current struggle and their goals. Dr. Moran works in English and serves clients in the District of Columbia. For international requests, she does not accept clients from outside the United States.
How therapeutic methods are used for online work
Dr. Moran commonly draws on approaches that focus on thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Rational emotive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful beliefs and offer concrete ways to test and change them, which can reduce anxiety and anger. Person-centered methods emphasize listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and choices, helping with self-esteem and life purpose. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to trace how early family patterns influence current reactions, which is useful for family of origin issues and persistent relationship conflicts.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed protocol.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. If you need a quieter setup, a shorter session, or something that keeps you off camera, discuss those practical preferences when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
