About Alicia
Alicia Foley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who focuses on helping people cope with trauma, stress, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and changes in life. She uses a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for clients and caregivers.

Background and approach
That background gives her practice a strong focus on safety, pacing, and practical coping skills. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and small steps that lead to change. Alicia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in conversations.
She tailors dialogue and plans to each person’s situation, using approaches that match the concern and the person’s pace. She encourages questions and works to keep things direct and usable. Parents and young adults often seek help for emotional overwhelm, grief, self-esteem concerns, and behavior related to ADHD symptoms.
Alicia also supports people dealing with anger, relationship strain, and the stress of major life transitions. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care issues when relevant. She offers a calm, goal-oriented style and practical strategies people can try between sessions.
Alicia reminds people that taking the first step takes courage and acknowledges that beginning therapy is an important move toward feeling better.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and pacing. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches stress management, emotion regulation, and organization strategies useful for ADHD symptoms and anxiety. These are hands-on tools people can practice between sessions to notice small improvements.Another frequent element is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, gradual pacing, and building coping skills before addressing painful memories. This approach helps people feel steadier and more able to take the next step when they are ready.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She invites questions and checks in regularly to make sure the direction feels useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video visits let people use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone needs support between scheduled visits.
