About Alicia
Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of experience in community and school settings. She has worked across nonprofit programs, juvenile drug court services, and school counseling in Florida. Alicia focuses on practical help and clear steps rather than long talks without direction.
She meets people where they are and uses a strengths-based approach. Sessions focus on building skills and tools for everyday life. Alicia helps clients set realistic goals and breaks problems into manageable steps.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting adults with mood disorders, crisis stabilization, case management, and supportive therapy. She also has five years supervising juvenile drug court and outpatient substance use services, which involved helping teens and parents develop coping skills for substance use and co-occurring issues.
More recently, she has worked in middle and high schools addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, social skills, and independent living skills. Alicia has experience with parenting, family relationships, and anger management from her family counseling work. Alicia uses approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and active skill-building.
She aims to give tools that people can use between sessions. The overall emphasis is on practical change and steady progress, tailored to each person’s situation.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves clear steps and homework tasks to practice new skills between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. DBT offers concrete tools people can use during overwhelming moments and can be useful for impulse control and intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as needs evolve, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls work well for full therapy sessions when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get brief support, share updates, or check in between longer sessions.
