About Alicia

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed mental health counselor who brings over 26 years of experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Alicia also supports individuals dealing with grief, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and eating or body-image issues.

She aims to build a treatment plan together with each person. That means listening to what matters most and setting clear, achievable goals. Her style is open and direct, inviting clients to bring difficult topics into sessions and shape the work.

Alicia draws on several approaches to help people make changes. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present problems. She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep the person’s perspective central and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Her background includes work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and experience across mood and anxiety conditions, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Alicia has training in financial coaching and can address money-related stress as part of therapy.

She holds LCSW and LMHC credentials and practices in Idaho. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation so clients can move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Alicia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship patterns cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy is another key element she uses; it keeps the client's perspective central and helps people feel heard while figuring out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing methods across sessions and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and can be a way to work through relationship patterns, anxiety, grief, or ADHD-related challenges without rearranging a full day. Licensed professionals guide the process so sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and steps that can be practiced between meetings.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
