Alicia Jones , LMHC

Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has worked in the counseling field since May 2011. She developed extensive experience in the private non-profit sector over more than nine years, delivering a range of supportive services for adults with mood disorders and mental illness and contributing to crisis stabilization and case management efforts.

Her practice has included individual and family counseling with a focus on parenting, anger management, self-esteem, and improving family relationships. For five years she supervised Juvenile Drug Court and an outpatient substance use counseling program, supporting teenagers and their parents as they built coping skills to address substance use and co-occurring challenges. More recently, she has been working as a school counselor in middle and high school settings, helping students manage anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, social skills, and independent living skills.

Alicia Jones uses a client-centered, strengths-based approach that emphasizes meeting each person where they are and breaking goals into manageable steps. Her aim is to teach practical skills and provide tools that support meaningful change. She holds the LMHC credential, a state licensure that indicates training and authorization to provide mental health counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Alicia Jones integrates client-centered therapy into online work, which means the therapist focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful, supportive partnership. This approach helps clients explore their strengths and set goals in a way that feels personally relevant.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with skills that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is often used for mood concerns, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsivity.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia Jones collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across distances, making it easier to maintain momentum and access care when it fits into daily life.
