She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience in Texas.

Alecia combines methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
How Alecia works
She also draws from Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear skills, small experiments, and steady progress rather than jargon. Common topics she addresses include sleep problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career stress, and relationship communication.
She also helps people dealing with obsessive thoughts and compulsions, attachment concerns, and social anxiety. Problems related to divorce, forgiveness, and finding life purpose are part of her work as well. Alecia aims to make sessions approachable.
Meetings cover practical tools, short exercises, and steps to try between sessions. She talks through what is getting in the way and helps clients develop daily routines that support their goals. Therapy can take different forms depending on the issue and preference.
Alecia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and needs. She works in English and practices from Texas as a LPC and WA LMHC.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Alecia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of daily life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or sleep trouble. CBT sessions typically include short experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alecia collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will try different tools and adjust the plan based on what is helpful, making decisions together along the way.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people have a session that feels close to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into breaks at work or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep consistent momentum toward goals while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
