Alicia Jones

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She began counseling in 2011 and has worked across nonprofit settings, juvenile drug court services, and public school counseling. Her work has involved adults with mood disorders, teens facing substance use concerns, and students navigating anxiety and school stress.

She takes a client-centered approach and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on teaching practical skills and giving tools to improve daily life. She uses a strengths-based framework and helps clients set clear, manageable goals.

Past roles included crisis stabilization, case management, and supportive therapy for adults with serious mental health needs. She also spent five years supervising Juvenile Drug Court and providing outpatient substance use counseling, which included work with teenagers and their parents on coping skills for co-occurring issues.

More recently she provides school counseling at the middle and high school level. In that setting she addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, social skills, and independent living skills with students.

People who look for structured goal work and concrete coping tools tend to fit well with her style. She draws on practical therapies to break problems into steps and build small, doable changes. Clients who want clear skill teaching and steady support often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Alicia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression by breaking problems into steps. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and supporting the person’s own goals while bolstering strengths.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful, teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, which adapts well to remote conversations and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow steadier follow-up between appointments. They also support using worksheets, in-session skill practice, and brief check-ins to keep progress on track.
