About Alicia
Her work foregrounds Trauma and abuse as one of several concerns she addresses. She also helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Parenting challenges and coaching for clearer decision-making are part of her practice too.
Dr. Moran blends several ways of working rather than using a single method. She draws on rational emotive behavioral ideas, reality theory, psychodynamic perspectives, and a person-centered stance. That mix is used to help people understand patterns, test new responses, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others.
People who prefer a reflective and choice-based style often find this approach useful. Sessions tend to focus on identifying emotions, understanding where they come from, and trying practical steps to change daily behavior. The emphasis is on small, steady shifts rather than quick fixes.
Her practice is based in the District of Columbia and she communicates in English. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site process to begin therapy and confirm session options before booking.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Dr. Moran uses a combination of approaches to help people understand feelings and change behavior. Rational emotive behavioral ideas focus on spotting unhelpful beliefs that fuel anxiety or anger and testing new, more realistic thoughts to reduce distress. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and acceptance so clients can explore emotions and make choices in their own time.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist and client decide together which ideas to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process may involve naming painful emotions, experimenting with different responses, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them, or let people choose to meet at a time that works around work and family life. Licensed professionals will discuss how to structure sessions in a way that supports your goals and routine.
