About Alicia
Alicia Williams is a licensed social worker who centers sessions on each person's own experience. She brings five years of Michigan practice to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. Alicia emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based stance and encourages small steps that build toward lasting change.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set clear, doable goals. She uses talk-based methods that focus on problem solving, skill building, and noticing patterns in feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
Many clients work on coping skills for panic and anxiety, managing mood swings, or finding steadier motivation. Alicia draws on client-centered work to make space for what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and create practical behavior changes.
For people who struggle with emotion regulation, she incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach grounding and distress-tolerance skills. She supports people facing life transitions, grief, relationship tensions, and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns. ADHD-related challenges are also listed among her focus areas when attention and organization interfere with daily life.
Alicia aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions. She helps people break big problems into smaller tasks and practices new skills between meetings. Her approach is direct, steady, and centered on what clients say they want to change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alicia integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and following what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will review your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work when in-person visits are not possible.
