Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Alicia Linquist. I am an independently licensed Social Worker. I have over 6 years of experience doing individual, group, and family therapy. My primary background is in trauma, grief, and depression. However I have worked with individuals with a wide range of diagnoses, including ADHD, adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Trauma Informed practices, and I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Re-processing (EMDR) Therapy.

I studied Psychology at Fitchburg State University and received my Master’s degree in social work from Wheelock College in Massachusetts.

I hope to help you find the tools you are looking for to meet your goals. Life can be very wounding at times. Let the healing begin!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Just what I have been needing!

Reviewed November 2021

I loved working with Alicia. I was already working with a college counselor but needed therapy during summer when I couldn't see them. I had realized that emdr might be a good fit for what i went though. Alicia explained it so well and helped me process a lot and was comforting and even accepting of some feedback that I had with her. She is open and welcoming and willing to work with your schedule. She is a wonderful therapist that will listen to you and validate your feelings.
