Alicia Herman, LCSW

Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and big life changes. She works with adults on issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and LGBT-related stress. Alicia also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress when those come up in clients' lives.

Alicia uses a collaborative style. She starts by listening to what matters most to the client and then shapes sessions around their goals. Sessions mix practical tools with conversation about patterns and past experiences. The aim is to build skills people can use between appointments.

She draws on a range of methods, including cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment strategies, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused work. That lets her pick techniques that match a person's priorities and pace. Clients may work on changing unhelpful thoughts, clarifying values, strengthening motivation, or trying small experiments between sessions.

With nine years of experience, Alicia brings steady clinical experience without jargon. She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. People who are navigating caregiving burdens, aging-related concerns, or recovery from trauma may find focused, practical help in her approach.

To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is meant to be straightforward so people can begin addressing the stressors they brought to therapy.

Approach and Online Care

Alicia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way of daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action in line with those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings.

She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as needed. If one approach does not fit, she will discuss alternatives and tailor sessions to what the client finds most helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins on a break from work. Other practical benefits include easier scheduling across a weekly routine and the ability to continue work when relocation or caregiving needs make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like behavioral experiments, values exercises, and motivational interviewing to online work to keep therapy focused and actionable.
