Alicia Herman

Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people regain stability and direction. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief, and identity issues, including LGBT-related matters. Alicia aims to help people find clearer goals and build practical skills for daily life.

She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions often focus on identifying strengths, setting achievable goals, and practicing small changes between meetings. Alicia adapts her approach to what each person wants to work on and how they prefer to work.

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience working with mood disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and challenges tied to career and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Alicia draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set concrete steps and build momentum. Psychodynamic ideas may inform deeper conversations about patterns that repeat across relationships.

People who choose Alicia can expect a collaborative style that centers their goals. She encourages practical steps and honest reflection so clients can test changes and track progress over time.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. These methods are described and applied collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to decide which approach or combination fits best based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats current for this therapist before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to continue steady progress while juggling life demands, and Alicia will help tailor the process so sessions match practical needs and therapeutic aims.
