About Alecia

She combines clear techniques with steady support to help clients manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and parenting strain. Alecia holds a master of arts degree and carries the credentials LPC and LMHC.
She uses straightforward therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn different ways to respond.

Sessions are collaborative and grounded in the client’s real life.
Alecia has about five years of experience in mental health work. That experience includes supporting people through life changes, career worries, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships. She also addresses concerns such as obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and issues tied to separation or divorce.
Her style is focused and person-centered. She listens for what matters most to each client and helps set small, achievable goals. Practical strategies, short exercises, and habit-focused plans are often part of the work.
Based in Texas, Alecia conducts sessions in English. People interested in improving sleep or building better coping routines are encouraged to review the matching process before scheduling so they can find the right fit.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose behaviors that match their values. It can help when sleep or worry keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and support calmer evenings. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as needed so the plan matches the person’s needs and day-to-day life. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and practice skills between meetings. Some people find shorter check-ins or times outside work hours helpful for maintaining momentum. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises for use between sessions so new habits form steadily.Areas of expertise
