About Alicia

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinician with 26 years of experience who helps people managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and jealousy-related concerns. She speaks plainly and helps clients set practical goals they can use between sessions. Alicia holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and practices from Idaho.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections affect present relationships. She also uses client-centered methods to shape care around each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools appear in her work to teach coping skills and manage intense emotions.

Alicia has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma, abuse, ADHD, eating concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She is comfortable talking about stressors tied to money and has completed Ramsey Financial Coach master's training to discuss financial anxiety and planning as part of therapy.

Her style emphasizes collaboration. Clients help set the treatment plan and pick goals that feel realistic. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building, and clearer communication patterns rather than long technical explanations.

People seeking help for intimacy worries, jealousy, or communication problems will find an approach that combines skill practice with steady support. To begin, clients follow the platform Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Alicia uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when jealousy or trust issues come from past hurts and repeated expectations in relationships. Client-centered therapy means sessions are guided by the client's priorities and pace, with the therapist reflecting concerns and helping people name goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, testable behavior changes. CBT tools can help with anxiety, mood shifts, and repetitive worry patterns. Together, these approaches offer both understanding of relationship history and concrete steps for change. Finding the right mix is part of the work and Alicia collaborates with each person to pick the methods that match their goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during times of high stress. It can also let people use different tools from home like worksheets or recorded mindfulness practices between sessions. A licensed professional will discuss a plan that fits daily life and the concerns you want to address.
