Alicia Jones , LMHC

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has practiced in the counseling field since May of 2011. She brings extensive experience from the private non-profit sector and a range of clinical settings, having provided services to adults with mental illness and mood disorders, supported crisis stabilization efforts, and delivered case management and supportive therapy to individuals in need. She has worked with families in both individual and family counseling roles, addressing parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, overall mental health, and family relationship dynamics.

For five years she supervised a Juvenile Drug Court and an outpatient substance use counseling program, collaborating with teenagers and their parents to develop coping skills for substance-related issues and co-occurring disorders. More recently she has worked as a school counselor in middle and high school settings, helping students manage anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, social skills development, and independent living skills. As an LMHC - a professional credential for providing mental health counseling - she focuses on practical skill-building and problem solving.

Alicia’s approach is client-centered and strengths-based, emphasizing goal setting and step-by-step progress. She aims to meet clients where they are, teach usable tools, and support individuals and families as they work toward meaningful change and improved quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alicia uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, validating experience, and building on individual strengths to address a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often used for stress, mood challenges, and coping with life changes. When appropriate, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be helpful for intense emotional responses or relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that make scheduling easier and allow clients to engage from locations that suit them. These formats support ongoing skill practice and consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are not feasible.
