About Alicia
Alicia Thomas is a licensed social worker who uses a client-focused approach to help families and individuals find clearer footing. She holds a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and draws on 13 years of experience. Alicia keeps conversations straightforward and practical so worried parents can follow along easily.
She emphasizes strengths and builds on what already works in a family. In sessions she listens first and then helps set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxious thoughts and Mindfulness techniques to steady emotions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolkit when motivation or concrete problem-solving is needed. Alicia has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
She also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, postpartum depression, and life transitions. Her work touches on self-esteem, isolation, forgiveness, and finding meaning. Therapy with her is collaborative.
She treats parents and caregivers with respect and helps them practice new habits between sessions. Sessions focus on skills you can use at home, clear steps to improve communication, and manageable ways to reduce stress. She is based in Texas and offers services in English.
Alicia accepts international clients and adapts her methods to fit each family's needs and routines.
Approach and Online Support for Busy Families
Alicia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and increase calm in everyday moments. She treats finding the right approach as a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your family’s needs and routine. Together you decide which techniques to try first and adjust as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility for parents and caregivers. Video calls let you meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when screens are not possible, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and to practice new skills between meetings. Overall, the combination of practical therapies and multiple online formats helps families work on communication, reduce stress, and build routines that support long-term well-being.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.
