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 in Idaho and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family of origin concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Alicia also supports people coping with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, career pressures, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She uses client-centered techniques so people set their own goals and take an active role in planning treatment. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles and patterns shape current relationships. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Alicia also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotion regulation and present-moment coping. She has experience discussing financial stressors after completing a Ramsey Financial Coach master's training, and she brings practical problem-solving into sessions when money worries fuel anxiety.
Across her work she emphasizes clarity and openness in developing a plan. Sessions involve talking through problems, practicing new skills, and tracking small changes over time. Her experience includes supporting people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, and she is used to addressing sensitive topics while keeping the focus on the client's priorities.
She conducts therapy in English and works with adults in Idaho. People interested in beginning can use the site process to match and schedule an initial meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alicia uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles affect current relationships. This approach focuses on patterns of closeness, boundaries, and expectations learned in childhood and how those patterns appear in adult life.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the client's goals and perspective. That means the work is guided by what the client wants to change, with the therapist helping to shape a practical plan.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is part of her toolbox for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stressors because they focus on concrete steps and measurable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That conversation helps set priorities and choose specific skills to practice between sessions.
