About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Moran is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 29 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and parenting concerns.
She brings a calm, steady presence and a practical way of talking through what feels overwhelming right now. Her work emphasizes emotional intelligence - learning how past beliefs shape present feelings. She helps people notice patterns such as guilt, shame, or control issues so they can choose different responses.
Background and approach
She does not give one-size-fits-all answers; instead she offers options and supports each person in finding what fits their life. Sessions often include direct conversation about thoughts and feelings, and practical coaching for day-to-day challenges. She draws on techniques that help with panic attacks, mood shifts, and trauma-related symptoms.
Many people seek her out for help with social anxiety, loneliness, or finding purpose after a major life change. Dr. Moran has practiced in multiple states and works from the District of Columbia.
She uses language that is plain and direct, and she meets people where they are. The emphasis is on clear steps you can try between sessions and learning skills that reduce reactivity. Her approach blends talking, reflection, and straightforward behavioral strategies.
Parents who feel stuck or overwhelmed often find the sessions focus on concrete tools for coping and clearer communication. The goal is practical change that fits daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Dr. Moran uses evidence-based techniques that fit into online sessions. One approach focuses on emotional awareness and how past beliefs shape current reactions; this helps people notice patterns like guilt, shame, or strong anger and then practice different responses. Another common strand involves practical behavioral strategies that break big problems into small steps, which can reduce panic attacks and steady mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels most effective. That means trying some techniques, checking how they work, and shifting course when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the pair work face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get quick coaching, share updates between sessions, or keep momentum when schedules are tight. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
