About Alicia

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship, trauma, and grief issues. She speaks English and works with people navigating life changes, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, self-esteem, and career shifts. Her practical aim is to help parents and caregivers find steady ways to manage daily stress and improve family interactions.

She draws on five years as an LPC and over a decade in social services, including time with the Department of Child Protective Services and foster care systems.

Background and approach

That background means she has seen many family situations and crisis moments. She also has experience supporting women recovering from addiction and people facing trauma. Alicia uses several therapy methods rather than one fixed style.

She adapts Client-Centered techniques to create a warm, non-judgmental space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new patterns of thinking. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are added when useful to build coping skills and small practical changes.

Trauma-focused approaches guide work when past events are affecting daily life. Sessions are collaborative - she works together with people to set goals and try what fits. Her tone is direct but supportive, encouraging parents to take manageable steps.

She aims to help families build routines and communication habits that reduce conflict and increase confidence. The focus is on realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It creates a calm, accepting space so parents and caregivers can talk honestly about stress, parenting choices, and relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce conflict or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will work together with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed in collaboration with the client.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These formats let busy parents fit conversations into their schedules and continue work between sessions. They also make it easier to involve other family members when needed and to use homework or short messaging to reinforce new skills between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
