About Alicia

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and life changes. She brings 26 years of experience to conversations about relationships, parenting, grief, and work-related strain. People often seek her support for struggles with attention challenges, anger, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She works in a way that keeps the client's goals front and center. Alicia asks clients to help shape their treatment plan so progress fits real life. She aims to be open minded and create a space where difficult topics can be named and addressed.

Her background includes practice with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and with people navigating adoption, abandonment, and caregiving stress. She also has training as a Ramsey Financial Coach and is comfortable talking through money worries that are feeding anxiety or tension in daily life.

Clinically she draws on attachment-based approaches, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people shift unhelpful patterns, manage intense feelings, and build practical skills for day-to-day coping.

Alicia holds LCSW and LMHC credentials and works from Idaho. Conversations are conducted in English, and she does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Alicia uses attachment-based work to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and build safer ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and actions and trying small changes to ease anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Alicia asks about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Check the session options before booking to confirm current online formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy life because they can schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and arrange appointments around work or caregiving duties. Online meetings can make consistent work on skills easier to maintain while balancing everyday demands.
