Alicia Powell, LCSW, LMHC

Alicia Powell is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed mental health counselor with more than two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Alicia also supports those dealing with caregiver strain and aging and geriatric issues. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

Alicia began work in mental health in 1995 and holds an LCSW and an LMHC. Over the years she has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, eating concerns, and mood disorders. She also completed Ramsey Financial Coach master training and will talk through money worries as they relate to stress and anxiety.

In sessions she invites clients to help set goals and shape the plan of care. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps, skills, and clearer thinking that can be tried between meetings. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered conversations, and cognitive behavioral tools to help people shift patterns.

Alicia draws on a mix of techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to manage intense emotions and improve coping. Her approach emphasizes building skills for day-to-day life while also addressing deeper relationship patterns when needed.

She practices in Idaho and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients who want to start can complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alicia uses client-centered work to prioritize each person's goals and experience. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on building a plan together. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds affect present connections and caregiving roles.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. These tools can help with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and stress related to life transitions or caregiver responsibilities. She also blends mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior work to reduce emotional intensity and teach grounding skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision happens over the first few meetings and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice so work between sessions remains practical and usable in day-to-day life.
