Alicia Mardirosian, LPC

Alicia Mardirosian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She has 11 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm and collaborative, with an emphasis on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Alicia often begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and structured to set clear, attainable goals. She helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior and then works with them to try different coping strategies that fit their life.

Her work includes support for stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, self-esteem, and coping with loss. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and mood-related challenges such as Seasonal Affective Disorder and panic attacks. Hospice and end-of-life counseling are among the areas she has focused on.

Alicia tailors treatment to each person's needs, blending CBT techniques with mindfulness and existential ideas about meaning and purpose. The aim is to build insight, practical skills, and a stronger sense of self-worth over time. Sessions are designed to be manageable and relevant to everyday life.

She offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Weekly live sessions are 30 minutes long, with availability on Sundays throughout the day and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Practical Therapy Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with gentle practices that can reduce stress and increase emotional regulation.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is most helpful and feasible for real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings.
