Getting to know Alicia Melgoza

Hi there, I'm Alicia! My name is Alicia Melgoza, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing individual therapy for adults across California via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California. I specialize in treating anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and insomnia, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) to help my clients feel better and make meaningful change toward their treatment goals. My approach My therapeutic approach is centered on providing an empathic and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their challenges and strengths. I focus on helping clients build practical coping tools and practices that they can incorporate into their everyday lives. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and CFT, with CBT-i for clients dealing with sleep issues. Additionally, I prioritize culturally responsive care, ensuring that therapy is respectful and relevant to each client's unique background and experiences. Through this integrative approach, clients can find relief from stress and anxiety, develop coping strategies, and achieve the personal growth they're seeking. My focus I typically work with adults who are navigating the pressures and demands of everyday life, particularly those struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and insomnia. My approach is especially well-suited for individuals who are looking to develop healthier coping strategies, manage overwhelming emotions, and improve their overall well-being. I specialize in treating clients who are motivated and ready to take actionable steps toward reducing their stress and anxiety, achieving their personal goals, and enhancing their quality of life.
