About Alicia

Alicia Thomas is a licensed social worker with both LMSW and LCSW credentials who centers her practice on collaborative, evidence-informed care. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns.

Background and approach

With thirteen years of clinical experience, she emphasizes the client’s strengths and personal knowledge of their life story as the foundation for change. Her work often focuses on relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem and confidence, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Alicia also attends to issues such as communication problems, loneliness, forgiveness, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and women's wellbeing. She frames therapy as a courageous step and partners with clients to build practical skills, increase motivation, and reconnect to a clearer sense of purpose.

Practicing in Texas, Alicia offers a supportive, respectful environment in which clients set goals and shape the pace of work. Her approach blends structured techniques with empathic listening so clients can develop tools for daily life while exploring deeper values and long-term aims.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care



Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own expertise in their life, creating space for personal growth and self-directed goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. She balances structured skill-building with responsive listening so the approach can evolve as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different lifestyles and access needs. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between sessions using the communication method that works best for the client.
