About Alicia
Alicia Redmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship difficulties. She lists guilt and shame among the specific issues she addresses.
She has supported people who have experienced crisis, abuse, and major life changes. Her background includes work with clients from diverse backgrounds facing emotional dysregulation and complicated transitions. She describes her style as interactive and trauma-informed.
Alicia uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and skills often associated with DBT, as well as motivational interviewing and solution-focused practices. That means sessions often involve talking through thoughts and behaviors, practicing concrete coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals.
For clients who want it, she offers faith-sensitive care that respects Christian beliefs and values. She aims to help people build practical tools to manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning without promising any particular outcome.
Her practice is grounded in treating people with dignity and respect. People who carry guilt or shame related to family, relationships, faith, or past actions may find it useful to explore those feelings in her sessions. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options.
Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Alicia integrates cognitive behavioral ideas into her work, which involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to shift feelings. That approach can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt by making specific changes to day-to-day thoughts and routines.She also uses skills drawn from DBT-informed practice, focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills teach concrete ways to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions when shame or anger flare up.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means sessions often begin with clear, practical planning and may adjust as needs change.
The original biography did not specify which remote session formats are offered. Please confirm the available session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these formats to help people keep consistent progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
