About Alicia
Alicia Powell is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed mental health counselor practicing in Idaho. She brings 26 years of experience in mental health to conversations about stress, anxiety, parenting, grief, and other common struggles. Alicia aims to create a calm, straightforward space where parents and caregivers can say what’s hard and set clear goals for change.
She uses practical therapy methods that help people learn new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday problems like managing anger, addressing mood symptoms, improving self-esteem, and handling life transitions. Alicia also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Alicia holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials with the following IDs: LCSW LCSW-25910 and WA LMHC LH00004247.
She has practiced since 1995 and has training that includes financial coaching to address money-related stress. In sessions she invites clients to take part in creating their treatment plan. That collaborative step helps set clear, realistic goals and keeps work focused on what matters most.
Alicia approaches difficult topics with openness and respect to help people speak honestly and make steady progress. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Information about cost notes that pricing varies with location and therapist availability and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific skills for anxiety, mood changes, and stress.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead. That approach is useful for building trust and working through sensitive topics at a pace that feels safe.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing parenting and busy schedules. Video and phone sessions provide face-to-face time when needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter interactions for coping skills and coaching. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to apply new tools in real life.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
