About Alicia
Alicia Herman welcomes people who are tired of feeling stuck and want practical help for everyday struggles. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience helping people untangle anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and stress. Alicia writes in plain terms and focuses on clear goals rather than jargon.
Alicia uses short-term and longer-term work to meet what each person needs. She listens for personal strengths and then builds steps people can take right away.
How Alicia works
Sessions often include thinking through habits, practicing different responses, and setting small experiments to test new ways of coping. She adapts her approach for issues like trauma and post-traumatic stress, problems with intimacy and self-esteem, and life transitions such as career changes or caregiving stress. Alicia also supports people facing identity questions, money worries, loneliness, or grief.
Her practice reflects a mixture of techniques chosen to fit the person in front of her. In session she balances talk about the past with attention to the present. The work can include understanding patterns that repeat and learning new skills to manage mood and cravings.
Many people find this combination helpful when managing addiction, avoiding patterns, or working through attachment concerns. Alicia practices in Indiana and conducts therapy in English. She offers a straightforward, collaborative style aimed at making therapy useful and manageable for busy lives.
If someone wants clear steps and a supportive guide, she focuses on building skills and practical progress.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Alicia often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, choosing actions that match personal values, and building small habits that move life forward. It can help with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to change how they feel. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, and managing cravings or addictive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alicia works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She will explain options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online therapy with Alicia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing, and text messaging supports brief ongoing connection and reminders. These options aim to make regular work on goals easier to fit into daily life.
