About Alicia
Alicia Mardirosian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with more than 11 years of experience. She offers a steady, straightforward approach for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Her sessions aim to help clients slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters to them.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Relationship challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, and career questions are also part of her work.
Background and approach
Additional areas include caregiver stress, communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, and struggles with emptiness or self-love. Alicia blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That mix supports both understanding feelings and trying practical skills for day-to-day life.
She keeps sessions conversational while using tools that help people test new ways of thinking and behaving. Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens without judgment and offers gentle guidance to help people identify goals and take manageable steps toward them.
Sessions are structured but flexible to match each person's pace and needs. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Weekly live sessions are scheduled for 30 minutes, with typical availability on Sundays and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Alicia draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and helping people find their own answers through empathy and acceptance. That approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and shifting daily habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alicia collaborates with each person to identify goals and decide which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy fits changing needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when less bandwidth is available or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing connection between sessions and can be useful for brief updates, reflections, or practicing skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose the format that best supports daily routines and goals.
