About Alicia
Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years in counseling. She began work in 2011 and has provided services across nonprofit, court, and school settings. Alicia focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses addiction, codependency, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem problems.
Her background includes case management, crisis stabilization, and supportive therapy for adults with mental illness and mood disorders. She spent five years supervising a Juvenile Drug Court and running outpatient substance use counseling, working with teenagers and their parents on coping skills for substance use and co-occurring issues. More recently she has worked as a school counselor in middle and high schools, helping students with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, social skills, and independent living skills.
Alicia uses a client-centered style. She starts where each person is and focuses on strengths. Sessions emphasize practical skills and step-by-step goal setting rather than long theory discussions. The aim is to teach tools people can use between meetings to improve daily life.
Clinical methods she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These approaches are used to help with mood regulation, behavior changes, communication, and relapse prevention when needed.
People who want clear goals and skill-building tend to fit well with her approach. She works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often adds small, practical exercises to do between sessions to change mood and reactions. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach regulation skills, distress tolerance, and ways to handle strong emotions without reacting in harmful ways.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Alicia listens to what matters most to each person and adjusts methods to fit their goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client set clear, achievable steps and review what works over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow flexible scheduling around school or work. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and check in more frequently when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
