Alicia Jones

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years in the counseling field. She has worked across nonprofit and school settings and brings practical experience helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges.

Early in her career she provided supportive therapy, crisis stabilization, and case management for adults with mood disorders. She later supervised a Juvenile Drug Court and ran outpatient substance use counseling, working with teens and parents on coping skills for substance use and co-occurring concerns. More recently she has been a school counselor for middle and high school students, addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and social skills.

Alicia uses a client-centered way of working. She aims to meet people where they are and focus on their strengths. Sessions usually include skill teaching and concrete tools to help with stress, anger, self-esteem, and relationship problems.

She often breaks bigger problems into small, manageable steps and uses goal setting to track progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused strategies are among the approaches she draws on to help change unhelpful patterns.

Alicia also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need encouragement to make changes, and she supports people facing grief, parenting strain, body image concerns, and addiction-related struggles. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and works with individuals in English.

How therapy approaches inform online care

Alicia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide work with emotions and behaviors. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, helping people feel heard while they identify goals. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options and tailor strategies based on each person’s needs and preferences.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions from different locations when schedules demand flexibility. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to remote sessions so you can learn and practice tools between meetings.
