About Alicia
Alicia Foley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with parents and caregivers facing grief, adoption and foster care issues, and the everyday stresses of parenting. She also helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Alicia has practiced as a social worker in Ohio since 2017. She has spent much of her career supporting children and families, including those who have experienced trauma or had involvement with child services.
Background and approach
Her background means she understands how family systems and past events can affect daily routines and relationships. In sessions she aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. Alicia adapts conversations and plans to fit each family's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
She encourages clear, practical steps parents can try between meetings. She also brings attention to young adult issues and the particular challenges around adoption and foster care. This allows her to address both immediate behavior concerns and longer-term family adjustment.
Alicia knows the first step can feel difficult and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help. She offers support geared toward making parenting and family life more manageable and connected.
Therapeutic techniques for families delivered online
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach works on processing trauma and building coping tools to reduce its impact on daily family life; this helps when past events make parenting or relationships harder. Another technique emphasizes behavioral strategies and structure to manage ADHD symptoms, anger, and stress by teaching routines and clear responses that families can try at home.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the family about needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend and adjust techniques collaboratively. That way the plan fits your household rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions are available when video does not fit, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or questions between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue progress from wherever parents or caregivers are located.
