About Alicia
Alicia Herman is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Indiana with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and career matters. Alicia uses straightforward, goal-focused work to help people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She starts by helping people name what matters to them and identify small, practical steps. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems going. Alicia draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and Motivational Interviewing when motivation is a barrier.
Alicia can help people facing addiction, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, or life transitions. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, relationship commitment questions, aging issues, and feelings of isolation. Her work aims to build skills people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and make decisions that fit their goals.
Her background includes a mix of short-term solution-focused work and deeper psychodynamic exploration when that serves the client's aims. Sessions are practical and task-oriented but can also examine patterns that developed over time. People who want concrete tools and clear steps tend to find this approach useful.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process emphasizes collaboration so goals and methods are adjusted as progress is made.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change routines that keep problems going. CBT focuses on identifying patterns and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to build useful habits.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters to a person and to support action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding or strengthening reasons to change, such as with substance use or behavior shifts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and practical needs, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
