Alecia Beaudry, LCSW

Alecia Beaudry is a Wisconsin based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 22 years of experience to her private practice in Elm Grove, Wisconsin. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1999, completing an additional concentration in marriage and family therapy, and has worked across a range of settings that deepened her understanding of acute psychiatric concerns as well as the challenges that accompany major life transitions.

Alecia takes a creative and integrative approach to therapy, blending techniques to address complex problems that have resisted earlier attempts at resolution. She emphasizes the central role of the therapeutic relationship and aims to build a positive, approachable connection that helps people feel comfortable as they work toward meaningful change. Her work covers a broad array of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family and parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, mood disorders, addictions, and identity related matters such as LGBT concerns and adoption or attachment issues.

Committed to supporting overall health and wellbeing, Alecia encourages clients to explore new pathways toward a satisfying life. She views complex problems as opportunities for creative solutions and strives to inspire clients to move toward improved functioning and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Alecia combines several evidence informed approaches to tailor care to each person she sees. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape thoughts, feelings, and behavior - it can be especially helpful for those working through abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client as the expert in their own life and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for exploring goals and values - this approach often helps with self esteem, communication problems, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with day to day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alecia collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Alecia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access. These options make it simpler to fit support into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to connect with licensed professionals even when in person visits are not practical.
