Alicia Powell , LCSW, LMHC

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She works with adult clients on issues like parenting strain, intimacy worries, grief, eating concerns, ADHD, and career stress. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.

Alicia brings 26 years of experience in the mental health field. She draws on several therapy approaches to match a client's needs rather than using a single fixed method. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting so their priorities guide the work together.

Her practice includes attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current struggles. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior work are offered to manage strong emotions and improve coping.

Alicia has credentials as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). She has worked with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and supports people processing trauma and abuse histories.

She is comfortable talking about practical stressors such as money and has training in financial coaching that can help reduce financial anxiety. Sessions focus on small, practical steps and skills people can use between appointments.

How Alicia’s Approaches Work Online

Alicia commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building healthier connection habits.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress with clear, doable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Alicia will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan based on what is most effective for the client.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use facial cues and a fuller conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for frequent, brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing helps a person process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
