    About Alicia

    Alicia Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses a supportive, collaborative style that helps people find motivation, build confidence, and manage stress and anxiety. Alicia holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She practices in Texas and brings 13 years of experience to her work.

    Alicia believes people know their own stories and brings that respect into each session. She listens closely and asks questions that help uncover what matters most. Motivational Interviewing is one of the methods she uses to help people identify goals and move toward them.

    She also draws on client-centered ideas that keep the conversation focused on the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness approaches are used when practical skills or new ways of thinking can help reduce symptoms. Solution-focused techniques help break problems into small, doable steps.

    Alicia has worked with concerns such as relationship strain, family problems, parenting stress, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also supports people coping with isolation, postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness.

    The first meetings focus on understanding what the person wants to change and what feels most helpful. Sessions are paced to match each person’s goals and readiness to try new strategies.

  2. How Alicia's approaches translate to online therapy

    Alicia often uses Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change and build commitment. This approach works well when someone is uncertain about next steps or needs help finding internal motivation.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. That style emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so goals come from what matters most to them.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, another tool she draws on, teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

    Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques as people try different strategies and notice what helps.

    If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and session length so appointments match daily routines and goals.
