About Alicia
Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach aims to help clients feel more able to handle everyday life and make clearer choices.
Alicia meets each person where they are and helps them name goals and strengths. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change, and uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build practical skills. She also integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Alicia helps people weigh options, try new behaviors, and notice patterns that hold them back. She also assists with career stress, identity questions including LGBT concerns, and the aftermath of trauma or loss.
Her work includes attention to aging and caregiver stress, attachment and avoidant personality issues, substance and alcohol concerns, and challenges linked to military service. Alicia pays attention to emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation while helping clients find clearer purpose and more satisfying daily routines.
She practices in Indiana and offers therapy in English. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work and change
Alicia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and to build motivation one step at a time. This approach is useful when someone feels uncertain about making a change or needs support deciding what matters most.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and practicing actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that lead to different results.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia treats therapy as a partnership and will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She can adapt methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. If you prefer therapy that fits around work, caregiving, or travel, mention that when you complete the short matching questionnaire so scheduling can focus on practical needs. Online options can make it easier to keep appointments, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy life, but check the available formats when you schedule. -
