About Alicia
Alicia Foley helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, grief, and big life changes. Alicia uses a respectful, sensitive approach and tailors care to each person’s needs.
Alicia is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with four years of professional experience. She has focused much of her career on cases connected to adoption, foster care, and situations involving child services.
How Alicia works
That background shaped the way she listens and responds to people who have been through traumatic events. In sessions she keeps language simple and direct. Conversations center on practical steps you can try between meetings.
She works with people to build motivation, manage strong emotions, and develop routines that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Alicia adapts plans to fit each person’s goals and life situation. She emphasizes respect and compassion in every interaction.
Her goal is to make starting therapy feel manageable and useful rather than overwhelming. Those who reach out can expect steady, task-focused conversations that aim for small, achievable changes. Alicia encourages questions and collaboration so treatment stays relevant to your priorities.

How Alicia’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional regulation. One approach emphasizes coping skills for managing anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, pacing, and step-by-step plans for handling overwhelming moments. Another concentrates on trauma-informed care, which helps people make sense of difficult experiences and build strategies to reduce triggers and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust the plan over time so it feels useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when scheduling needs to be flexible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between meetings.
