About Alicia

Alicia Powell is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem problems, career stress, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Alicia also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and body image.

Alicia takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She believes clients should help shape their own treatment plans so goals stay relevant and useful. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to practical skills that people can try between meetings.

Her background includes long-term clinical work since 1995 and multiple licensures across states. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and has experience addressing compulsive behaviors and eating concerns. Alicia also completed Ramsey Financial Coach master's training and can address financial stress when it contributes to anxiety.

Alicia uses several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

People who want clear goals, practical tools, and an active role in planning their care may find her approach helpful. She works in Idaho and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Alicia uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when relationship fears, trust issues, or abandonment concerns get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes; CBT can help with social anxiety, worry, and mood problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moments of calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.

Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers to avoid being on camera, practical alternatives can be discussed when arranging sessions.
