About Alicia
Alicia Williams is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges around motivation and confidence. She also lists focus areas such as grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and LGBT issues.
In sessions she centers practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thoughts and habits, and draws on Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to support emotion regulation and clearer communication. Sessions tend to focus on what people want to change and small experiments to test new ways of responding.
Alicia frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. She offers straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and improve mood. Homework tasks are concrete and short so they fit into a busy week.
She also works on relational topics like attachment and communication problems. For people struggling with identity, self-love, or social anxiety, she combines skill practice with reflective conversation to clarify values and goals.
Her approach is goal-oriented and practical. People who prefer a clear plan and concrete tools often find this style helpful. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a first step might look like for each person.
How Alicia Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Alicia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on clear steps and short experiments that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily routines.She also uses Client-Centered methods, which involve listening to the person’s goals and reflecting back what matters most to them. This helps clarify priorities and next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as goals shift or new issues arise.
