Alicia Mardirosian, LPC

Alicia Mardirosian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who brings 11 years of experience to therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Alicia offers a calm, steady presence and practical strategies to help people feel a little more in control.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and training that emphasizes grief and bereavement as well as couples and family therapy. She uses client-centered methods to build a trusting relationship and combines that with evidence-based techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior.

Alicia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and manage strong emotions. She also brings existential ideas into sessions to help people find meaning and direction during hard transitions. The work aims to be collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals.

Caregiver issues and stress are among the focused concerns she addresses, along with communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, and end-of-life or hospice-related counseling. Sessions are described as structured yet conversational so people can both talk and practice new skills.

Her availability includes weekly live sessions on Sundays and evening sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with each session lasting 30 minutes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Alicia’s approaches work online

Alicia uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience. That means the session centers on listening, understanding what matters to you, and shaping the work around your goals. Client-centered work helps when someone needs a place to talk through confusing feelings or major life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, panic, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for your needs and preferences. She will talk with you about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the biography lists video, phone, and messaging but formats can change. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter live session in the evening, a phone check-in between commitments, or messaging for quick progress updates. These options can reduce travel time and help therapy fit around caregiving and work responsibilities.
