About &
Dr. & Mrs. Alicia Millard is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical practice. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, mood issues, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps people can try between meetings. Conversations aim to reduce the moments of snapping, lower workplace frustration, and ease built-up resentment with techniques a person can apply in daily life.
The biography notes EMDR work among her tools. In practice this means she may use evidence-informed methods to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. She combines that with strategies to improve coping, manage anger responses, and rebuild confidence after difficult events.
She frames therapy as collaborative. People can expect discussion, practice of skills, and regular review of progress. Dr. & Mrs. Millard adapts the pace to what someone can manage while juggling work, family, or caregiving duties.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and the profile advises confirming current session options before booking. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
EMDR is listed among her tools; this method focuses on processing upsetting memories through guided attention and paired stimulation to reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used for trauma, post-traumatic stress, and distress linked to past events.She also uses practical coping and behavior-focused strategies to manage anger and anxiety. These approaches teach specific skills - for example, recognizing warning signs, practicing calming exercises, and changing unhelpful reactions - that people can use in moments of stress or after conflict.
Finding the right approach happens together. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That process can involve trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a job, caregiving, or life obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose audio-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Licensed professionals commonly use these flexibilities to help therapy fit into everyday life.
