Alicia Herman, LCSW

Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She works with adults navigating life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, career challenges, and questions about self-esteem and purpose. Her tone is collaborative and practical, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for people who are overwhelmed.

She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Then she helps identify strengths, priorities, and clear goals. Sessions focus on small, usable steps that build new habits and reduce day-to-day distress. Alicia adapts her methods to fit the person’s goals rather than using a single fixed approach.

Her clinical work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused methods. She mixes these to address mood concerns, addictions, post-traumatic stress, and problems like isolation or caregiver stress. The goal is to teach skills that help between sessions as well as in them.

With nine years of experience, she brings a steady, problem-solving style to therapy. People can expect straightforward feedback, practical strategies, and space to reflect on deeper patterns. Alicia practices in Indiana and offers sessions in English.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she guides them through a brief intake and helps set an initial plan. The focus is on progress that fits into everyday life and builds toward clearer choices and more workable routines.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, mood disorders, and anxiety.

She approaches treatment collaboratively. That means she will work with the person to choose which approach, or combination of approaches, fits their goals and daily life. The first sessions usually focus on clarity about goals and testing a few strategies to see what feels useful.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use methods like CBT homework, values exercises from ACT, and motivational interviewing conversations without changing their routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
