About Alicia
Alicia Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 26 years in the mental health field. She practices from Idaho and works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses parenting, career stress, ADHD, self-esteem, and other life changes.
She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and helped people facing eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Alicia also brings experience around financial stress after completing Ramsey Financial Coach master's training, and she is comfortable talking about money-related anxiety.
Alicia uses a collaborative approach to planning care. She invites people to help set goals and shape the work so sessions stay relevant to what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical skills as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her clinical tools include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to manage strong emotions, reduce reactive behavior, and improve day-to-day coping.
Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people notice what triggers their anger and practices ways to respond differently. If someone wants to address work frustration, grief, or relationship tension, she works with them to build clear steps and skills to try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try small, practical changes. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns because it focuses on real steps to change how situations are handled.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so someone can name their priorities and goals. That approach helps clarify what to work on when emotions run high. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns that can fuel anger and resentment, helping people identify recurring dynamics they want to alter.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion shapes practical skill work and the kinds of exercises given between sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel. It also supports practicing skills in the context of everyday life, so changes can be tried and reviewed quickly.
