About Alicia

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinician with 26 years of experience supporting people facing strong emotions and life changes. She helps with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to parenting, career, ADHD, and eating. Alicia brings a calm, practical presence to conversations about what matters most to the client.

She believes clients should help shape their own treatment plan. That means setting goals together and choosing steps that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on clear skills and honest talk rather than jargon. Alicia aims to make difficult topics easier to name and manage.

Her background includes social work and mental health counseling. She holds LCSW and LMHC credentials and has worked with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. She also completed a Ramsey Financial Coach master's training and is comfortable addressing money-related stress alongside emotional concerns.

Therapy draws from several approaches depending on the person’s needs, including attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness strategies. These methods are used to build coping skills, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthen relationships with self and others.

Alicia encourages straightforward conversation about goals and obstacles. She aims to create a space where hard topics can be spoken about and practical steps can be taken. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Alicia draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT focuses on practical steps and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address anger. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This can help people understand patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of connecting.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Alicia invites clients to talk about what feels useful and what does not. Together they try approaches, adjust goals, and choose strategies that match the client's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and goal-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. It can also let clients use mindfulness exercises and skill practice in real-life settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can help tailor the scheduling and tools to match each person's routine and priorities.
