Alicia Herman

Alicia Herman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people facing career shifts, caregiving strain, and trauma-related difficulties.

Alicia uses a practical, conversational approach. She helps people name their goals and notices strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on learning how thoughts and behavior affect daily life.

Her work draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. Motivational Interviewing is used when a person wants change but feels unsure or stuck.

She also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals so progress is visible. These approaches are mixed depending on what a person says they want to work on.

People who come to Alicia should expect straightforward conversations about specific problems. She asks questions, offers practical strategies, and checks in about what is working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online process.

How her approaches work for remote sessions

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking value-based actions even when emotions are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and questions about life purpose. CBT targets patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions reflect what a person says they want to change and what helps in practice.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Alicia’s focus is on making sessions useful and workable within everyday life rather than on a particular format.
