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!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Wonderful Service!
Alicia is really really helpful and I am so glad I started this journey. My home life has improved so much and I am so much more focussed at work and on my goals. My depression has come so far and I have worked through a lot of the barriers that were holding me back.
Great service and great therapy!

Alicia is extremely professional while making me feel very comfortable. She is very experienced working with trauma and with different backgrounds and helped me find the right tools to find happiness again. She is very flexible and understanding.
I like the ease of BH and the promtness of communication with Alicia. I have really learned alot on my therapy with Alicia and so grateful to have found someone certified in EMDR Therapy which I have been wanting to try for a long time for trauma. EMDR has changed my life.
Just what I have been needing!
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.
Alicia has been so helpful. She is an amazing listener and offers great support as I discuss my challenges that I am facing. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with her in therapy on myself and improving my life.
I enjoy Alicia, she is empathetic and resourceful. I need that, i appreciate that.
