About Alicia

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of professional experience in a range of clinical and community settings.

Background and approach

She began her counseling career in 2011, working across personal non-profit programs and school-based environments where she supported people managing mood disorders, crisis situations, substance use concerns, and family challenges. Her background includes supervising a Juvenile Drug Court and delivering outpatient substance use counseling, as well as providing school counseling for middle and high school students.

Her style centers on a client-centered, strengths-based stance that emphasizes practical skills and goal setting. Alicia focuses on building collaborative plans with clients, breaking larger problems into manageable steps and teaching coping tools to improve day-to-day functioning.

She blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral interventions and DBT-informed strategies with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to tailor work to each person’s presenting concerns. Based in Florida, Alicia has worked with adults, families, teens, and school populations on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, self-esteem, relationship and family dynamics, grief, ADHD, and mood disorders.

Her aim is to provide steady support while helping clients develop concrete skills that fit their lives and goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist helps clients explore their goals and strengths at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people struggling with intense emotions and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with clients to clarify their goals, consider which methods fit those goals, and adjust techniques over time so the plan matches each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible access to those same approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue support between in-person appointments, and access care from home or work. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and tailor interventions so clients can apply tools in the environments where they live and work.
