Hicks speaks plainly and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. She has 20 years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential in New York.

Dr. Hicks centers sessions on clear conversation and practical steps.

She encourages clients to name what’s happening and to try small changes between meetings. Her sessions invite honest sharing without judgment.

She works with clients to build confidence and stronger self-care habits. She pays attention to how relationships and life events shape daily stress and motivation.

When grief or loss are present, she helps people find ways to remember, adapt, and move forward at their own pace. For relationship concerns she focuses on improving communication and resolving recurring conflicts through concrete skills.

She aims to make therapy a space for steady progress and clearer choices.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Dr. Hicks uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and improve daily mood. Another approach emphasizes building specific skills for communication and conflict resolution, which can help with relationship and family tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to have brief, frequent contact for ongoing support. These options make it simpler to match therapy to a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
