Alicia Foley , LISW

Alicia Foley, LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), practices in Ohio and brings four years of experience supporting children, young adults, and families, with particular focus on those who have experienced traumatic events or involvement with child services. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and the stress of major life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, LGBT issues, and the special dynamics that arise with adoption and foster care.

Alicia approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs and goals of the individual or family. She emphasizes practical coping skills alongside understanding the effects of past experiences, and she adapts her support style to fit developmental stage and life context. Taking the first step to begin therapy can require courage, and she recognizes and honors that decision while working collaboratively to map a path forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on addressing trauma and building practical coping skills. Trauma-focused strategies help people process and make sense of difficult experiences so symptoms that interfere with daily life can be reduced. Skill-based approaches teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, anger management, and stress reduction to improve day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the client's pace and priorities. Clients and therapist work together to try methods and refine what feels most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care from home or on the go. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, which can help people maintain therapy during work, school, or family demands while staying connected to licensed professionals who can support progress.
