About Alicia

Alicia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 26 years working in mental health. She is based in Idaho and commonly helps people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns plus issues around parenting and caregiving.

Alicia draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people sort problems and set practical goals. She uses client-centered conversations to clarify what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and attachment-focused methods are part of her work when people need to address relational patterns or emotional regulation.

She has experience supporting people who face eating issues, bipolar mood swings, grief, anger, ADHD, and trauma including victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Alicia also works with concerns such as body image, adoption and foster care histories, commitment and control issues, and caregiver stress. She is comfortable discussing financial stress after completing Ramsey Financial Coach master's training.

Alicia prefers to involve each person in crafting their treatment plan so goals stay relevant and realistic. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and open conversation about difficult topics. The style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people handle everyday pressures at work, home, and in relationships.

To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site flow to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Alicia combines a few practical approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and uses open conversation to define goals and next steps; it helps when someone needs a straightforward, person-led plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches small experiments and skill practice to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breath practices to help with emotional regulation and stress management.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. Alicia will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily routines. That may mean mixing strategies from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.

Session format details are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. They let people continue steady work on skills and coping strategies while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
