Alicia Woodrum , LCSW

Alicia Woodrum is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience. She practices in Maine and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and challenges with self-esteem and life transitions.

Her work often centers on practical skills. She helps people build coping strategies for panic, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety. She also supports those dealing with body image concerns, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Alicia has experience across the lifespan, including work with young children in home and community settings, outpatient therapy with pre-teens and teens, and adult and older adult clients. She has provided support to caregivers and has some experience related to Alzheimer’s and dementia care.

Her style is compassionate and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, problem-solving, and everyday tools that make life easier. People can expect straightforward conversations about what’s getting in the way and steps to move forward.

Alicia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach communication skills, stress management, and ways to handle mood shifts. She aims to help clients strengthen relationships, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and regain a sense of direction. The approach is flexible and tailored to each person’s goals.

How Alicia Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Alicia draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breath work, step-by-step grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. These tools are useful for people facing social anxiety, panic attacks, or stress reactions.

She also works on mood management for depression and bipolar-related shifts by helping clients track mood patterns, build routines, and break tasks into manageable steps. That approach aims to reduce overwhelm and increase moments of calm and accomplishment. A third thread in her work supports improving communication and self-esteem through role-play, clearer boundaries, and rehearsed conversation skills to handle difficult interactions more easily.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods so the plan fits the client rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity between sessions.
