She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, sleep issues, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Alecia keeps sessions straightforward and goal oriented.
She blends methods so each session fits the person in front of her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and take small steps toward change.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when clients need tools to manage strong emotions. Alecia has five years of counseling experience and holds LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials with ties to Texas and Washington licensure records. Her background includes work with adults and young adults and a focus on women’s issues and parenting challenges.
She brings clear language and practical homework into sessions. Common topics she addresses include attachment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, social anxiety, and self-love. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on what matters most to the client.
Her style is collaborative and warm. People leave with strategies they can try between visits. The emphasis is on building skills, improving daily routines, and making slow, sustainable progress.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Alecia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values even with difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and questions about life purpose.She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps break unhelpful thinking patterns and is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alecia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel useful and to adjust the plan as goals change. The process is shared and practical rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or scheduling quick updates. These options help fit therapy into busy days and make it easier to try a few formats to see what works best.
