About Alicia

Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and other life challenges. She speaks plainly and works with clients to name goals and make practical changes. People looking for support with money and financial issues, grief, intimacy concerns, or career questions will find a focused approach. Alicia has nine years of clinical experience and practices in Indiana.

Alicia takes a collaborative, client-centered approach. She listens for what matters most and adapts methods to fit each person’s goals. Sessions often involve looking at patterns, trying small experiments, and building skills to cope day to day. She can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviors or when they need concrete ways to manage mood and stress.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Alicia explains tools in straightforward language so they are easy to use outside sessions. She balances exploring past influences with practical steps to change current habits.

People choose her for support with relationship struggles, recovery from trauma, work transitions, and life purpose questions. Alicia emphasizes small, sustainable shifts rather than quick fixes. She aims to build a working relationship that helps clients move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she practices in Indiana.

How Alicia's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and changes you can practice between meetings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending CBT exercises, ACT values work, and brief motivational conversations so the plan fits daily life.

If you prefer online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use focused exercises, homework, and real-time problem solving just as they would in person, helping clients apply new skills between visits.
