Hermine Price-Spain , LICSW

Hermine Price-Spain is a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama with 33 years of professional experience. She holds the LICSW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and she is also a certified coach. Over three decades of practice have focused her work on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She also brings experience addressing family dynamics, LGBT issues, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges.

Her approach is collaborative and practical, drawing on client-centered methods to ensure each person’s goals guide the work, mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques to move toward clear, achievable steps. Hermine emphasizes building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where small, practical processes can reduce barriers to well-being.

She works with adults facing a range of challenges including substance use, family of origin issues, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. Her combined background as a clinician and coach supports clients who want structured guidance and measurable progress while honoring each person’s pace and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Hermine draws on client-centered therapy to place each person’s goals and values at the center of the work - this approach supports self-directed growth and helps when someone needs a safe space to explore their priorities. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach practical attention and grounding skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit as well - this collaborative method helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hermine works collaboratively with each individual to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent guidance and therapeutic support.
