Alicia Reno , LMHC

Alicia Reno is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings a thoughtful, person-centered approach to psychotherapy. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, substance use, and severe or persistent mental illness. Her experience spans both short-term and more complex presentations, and she focuses on meeting each person where they are.

Alicia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and intentionally avoids stigmatizing labels. Her therapeutic style centers the client - listening closely and shaping treatment around the individual rather than a predetermined formula. Clinically, she integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing to address symptoms, build coping skills, and support meaningful change.

Conversations and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. Alicia aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore concerns, develop practical tools, and move toward greater well-being under the guidance of a licensed professional.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alicia Reno uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual’s perspective, creating space for clients to lead conversations while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening. This approach is helpful for building trust, exploring values, and addressing relationship or self-esteem concerns.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems to develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool in her practice, designed to support motivation and readiness for change. This approach is useful when working on substance use, behavior change, or other goals where ambivalence may be present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for fitting care into daily life. These formats make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not practical.
