Alicia Betancourt , LCSW

Alicia Betancourt is a Florida-licensed therapist who has been providing counseling since 2011. She holds an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credential and brings 11 years of experience helping individuals, families, and groups navigate challenges that feel overwhelming. Alicia focuses on uncovering and building on each person's strengths, and she collaborates with clients to create practical plans for achieving their goals.

She works with teenagers, people with disabilities, and anyone who needs attentive, empathetic support. Alicia offers guidance for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, mood disorders, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes listening first and tailoring interventions to the needs of the client, whether that means working one-on-one, with family members, or in group settings.

Alicia aims to help clients find sustainable ways to cope and move forward, using evidence-based techniques and a strengths-focused approach. She is available to clients in Florida and provides therapy through multiple remote formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Alicia uses a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify existing resources and build on them. This method focuses on helping people recognize personal abilities and past successes so they can apply those strengths to current challenges such as stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship concerns.

She also applies structured, evidence-based skills training to teach practical tools for coping and emotional regulation. These techniques are focused on skill building - for example, strategies for managing intense emotions, improving communication, or organizing daily routines - and can be helpful for mood disorders, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Alicia frequently works with families and groups, supporting communication, role adjustments, and collaborative problem solving when multiple people are affected. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - she works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques fit best given the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, caregiving, or mobility needs, and allow Alicia to tailor how sessions are delivered to each client’s circumstances.
