About Alecia
Alecia Ford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Arts and five years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, parenting tensions, and career questions. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her focus areas.
Alecia uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thinking patterns and choices people make day to day. Mindfulness methods are used to help people notice what is happening in the moment without getting swept away.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to clarify values and take small, doable steps toward them. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy appear when emotional regulation or strong reactions get in the way of goals. Client-centered work guides the pace so the person’s concerns shape the process.
Alecia has experience helping young adults and women with relationship and communication problems, attachment concerns, and life transitions such as divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with obsessions, compulsions, and obsessive-compulsive concerns, plus issues around forgiveness and self-love.
Sessions mix talk, skill practice, and short exercises to try between meetings. The focus is on clear, manageable steps people can use outside of sessions. To begin, readers are asked to follow the practice's scheduling flow and complete the initial questionnaire before setting a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alecia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful cycles.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the session focused on the person's perspective and pace. Together, the therapist and client look at which methods fit best for the situation. Choosing an approach is collaborative and may shift as needs and goals become clearer.
