Alicia Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has worked in the counseling field since May of 2011. Her early career included roughly nine years in the private non-profit sector, where she provided a range of helping services for adults living with mental illness and mood disorders, supported crisis stabilization efforts, and offered case management and supportive therapy. During that time she also conducted individual and family counseling that addressed parenting, anger management, self-esteem, mental health, and family relationship concerns.

For five years Alicia supervised a Juvenile Drug Court and an outpatient substance use counseling program, working directly with teenagers and their parents to develop positive coping strategies for substance use issues and co-occurring disorders. More recently she has been providing school counseling in middle and high school settings, helping students manage anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, social skills, and independent living skills.

Her clinical style is client-centered, meeting each person where they are and building on strengths. Alicia emphasizes skill teaching and practical tools to improve quality of life, uses a step-by-step approach to goal setting, and draws on the belief that people are capable of change. Her work is informed by approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
