About Alicia
Alicia Colon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and related life stresses. Alicia focuses on clear, practical work so clients can manage intense emotions and everyday challenges more effectively.
She sees the person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions use straightforward conversation and problem-solving to address patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. She emphasizes small, usable changes that make daily life feel more manageable.
Alicia helps people who struggle with sleep, intimacy issues, parenting stress, career decisions, and coping with life transitions. She also supports those dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain. Her practice includes work on control issues, impulsivity, codependency, and communication problems.
When anger is present, the focus is on recognizing triggers, learning to slow down reactions, and practicing alternative responses. For trauma and abuse, she helps clients talk through painful memories at a pace they set. With relationship issues, she looks at interaction patterns and practical skills to reduce conflict.
Clients find the work to be direct and grounded in everyday concerns. Alicia aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer options and routines they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
Approaches that shape online sessions
Alicia uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving daily functioning. One common approach addresses behavior and routine changes to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety; it helps people reintroduce manageable activities and track small wins. Another approach focuses on emotion regulation and practical skills for anger - identifying triggers, practicing pause-and-breathe strategies, and rehearsing alternative responses to reduce escalation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what is helping and what feels realistic to use between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins during lunch breaks or between commitments. They can also support shorter focused meetings or longer weekly sessions depending on what works best for day-to-day routines and goals.
