Alicia Herman, LCSW

Alicia Herman, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a thoughtful, collaborative approach to therapy that helps people move beyond patterns of unhappiness and build practical skills for daily life. She centers the work on each person's strengths and goals, tailoring evidence-informed methods to fit what an individual wants to address. Whether someone is managing depression, post-traumatic stress, addiction, anxiety, or facing career and life transitions, she focuses on building a trusting relationship that supports growth and solution-focused change.

Working in a client-centered way, she helps clients identify needs and priorities, then applies a mix of therapeutic techniques to match those goals. Her style emphasizes partnership - exploring why behaviors occur, addressing emotional pain, and developing new coping strategies to improve functioning and well-being. With nine years of clinical experience in Indiana, Alicia aims to expand life skills and support steady progress toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alicia commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. She may also draw on Motivational Interviewing to enhance engagement and resolve ambivalence, which can be especially helpful for addictions and readiness for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how techniques are combined and adapted over time.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These formats support consistent care, timely check-ins, and a practical way to access a licensed professional without needing to travel.
