About Alicia
Alicia Foley is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage anger, trauma, anxiety, and life changes. She works with people facing depression, stress, parenting strain, ADHD symptoms, and concerns about identity or relationships. Her tone is direct and respectful, aimed at people who want practical steps and clear support.
She began her Ohio social work career in 2017 and has four years of clinical experience supporting individuals connected to child welfare and adoption concerns.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with the effects of traumatic events and the day-to-day challenges that follow them. She uses that experience to focus on safety and coping skills first. In sessions she tailors conversations to each person’s situation.
She listens for what feels most urgent, then works on simple strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Work often includes setting small goals, practicing emotion regulation, and building routines that support motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people navigating grief, family conflict, and the transitions of young adulthood.
Her approach treats concerns in clear, manageable steps rather than long theoretical explanations. The aim is to help people leave sessions with something usable for the week ahead. People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, steady attention to what’s most pressing, and a collaborative plan that changes as needs evolve.
What Alicia works with
Everything Alicia lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Alicia's practice.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills. One approach emphasizes teaching emotion regulation and coping tools to reduce angry reactions and intense stress. These lessons are hands-on and include step-by-step strategies people can practice between sessions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past events affect current feelings and behaviors and then builds safety and stabilization skills to manage those effects.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback and shape the pace and focus of the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting allow for short check-ins, brief coping reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
