Alicia Betancourt , LCSW

Alicia Betancourt is licensed in Florida as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and has been providing therapy since 2011. She works with individuals, families, and groups who are facing challenges they feel unable to resolve on their own, offering steady support and practical guidance to help them move forward.

Alicia emphasizes each person’s existing strengths and collaborates with clients to create a clear plan for success. She brings patience and focused listening to sessions, helping clients identify resources and next steps when problems feel overwhelming.

She particularly enjoys working with teenagers and people with disabilities, and she welcomes anyone who simply needs someone to listen. Her approach centers on partnership - helping clients find their own answers while offering tools and direction to achieve meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Flexible Online Care

Licensed professionals often use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable progress. One common approach is goal-focused, skills-based work that helps clients develop coping strategies, problem-solving tools, and emotional regulation skills useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Another approach centers on collaborative, strengths-focused support that helps individuals and families identify existing resources and build a step-by-step plan to reach their goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Alicia works together with clients to determine which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable while still working with licensed therapists to address their concerns.
