Alicia Powell, LCSW, LMHC

Alicia Powell is a licensed social worker and mental health counselor based in Idaho. She brings 26 years of experience supporting people who are coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. Alicia aims to make the first steps toward help straightforward and respectful. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strains, eating concerns, ADHD, anger, and bipolar-related challenges. She also has experience with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and with people dealing with financial stressors alongside mental health concerns. Alicia uses a mix of practical therapy approaches. She relies on client-centered conversations to hear what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and mindfulness skills to strengthen relationships and reduce reactivity. She believes clients should help shape their treatment plan so goals stay relevant and achievable. Sessions focus on clear steps, pacing that feels right, and options people can try between meetings. Financial coaching training also informs how she addresses money-related stress when it comes up. Alicia holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She encourages people to describe their main concerns and priorities in the first conversation so care is targeted from the start.
