Alicia Jones, LMHC

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years in the counseling field. She has worked across nonprofit and school settings and supported people facing mood and behavior concerns. Her background includes crisis stabilization, case management, substance use counseling, and school-based counseling for adolescents.

She draws on practical, skills-based work to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related struggles. Alicia favors plain language and step-by-step problem solving. She focuses on building strengths and teaching tools clients can use between sessions.

Earlier in her career she supervised Juvenile Drug Court and an outpatient substance use program, helping teenagers and parents develop coping skills for substance use and co-occurring issues. She also provided individual and family counseling around parenting, anger, self-esteem, and family relationships in community programs.

More recently she has provided school counseling at the middle and high school level, supporting students with anxiety, trauma, social skills, and independent living skills. That work informs her practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions she adopts a client-centered stance. She meets people where they are, helps set achievable goals, and breaks problems into manageable steps. The aim is to coach toward lasting, realistic change with clear tools and steady support.

Approaches that guide online work

Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on changing patterns in thought and action to ease anxiety, depression, and mood problems.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT-style skills can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulsive behavior causes harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they choose which methods and skills to try and adjust them as needed.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by making scheduling easier, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT work to an online setting so the focus stays on practical skills and progress.
