About Alicia
Alicia Herman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Alicia also addresses concerns around guilt and shame alongside challenges tied to career, relationships, and identity.
Alicia uses a client-centered style that focuses on clear goals and practical steps. She draws on several approaches to fit what each person brings. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values, and trying new actions between meetings.
She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance and commitment methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels uncertain, especially around substance use or other addictive behaviors. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at repeated patterns that come from earlier relationships.
Alicia aims for straightforward work: naming the issue, picking a few concrete skills, and checking what helps. For many people that means practicing small experiments, reflecting on what gets in the way, and adjusting plans as needed.
Her focus areas include aging and caregiver stress, attachment challenges, commitment concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She works with LGBT concerns, men’s issues, veteran-related matters, and financial or career stress when those are part of what people bring to therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to the person, then taking small actions that line up with those values. CBT looks at the interplay of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when someone feels unsure about change. That approach helps people weigh their own reasons for change and build motivation at a manageable pace. Together these approaches are practical and action-oriented, useful for issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and guilt or shame.
Finding the best fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss approaches with the client and adjust based on goals, preferences, and what actually helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into everyday life because they can avoid travel, fit a session into a work break, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online meetings can also make it simpler to try therapeutic skills between sessions and bring real-time situations into discussion.
