About Alecia
Alecia Ford (MA, NCC) brings a calm, practical approach to therapy rooted in mindfulness. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and parenting strain.
Alecia works in a straightforward, person-centered way. She uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and emotions without getting overwhelmed. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage intense feelings.
Her work often centers on relationships and self-understanding. She helps people sort through attachment issues, communication problems, and the aftermath of divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with obsessions, compulsions, or social anxiety.
Sessions include practical tools and small, doable steps. Clients learn skills for coping with change, building self-esteem, and clarifying life purpose. She uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people act on what matters even when emotions are strong.
Alecia explains concepts plainly and sets achievable goals with each person. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. She works with adults and young adults and focuses on women’s issues among other areas.
How mindfulness and practical therapies work online
Alecia integrates Mindfulness Therapy in sessions to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness can ease racing thoughts and improve sleep by teaching simple attention practices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan so sessions match the person's needs.
Please confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio instead of video when that is more comfortable. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, homework, and skills practice to daily routines so therapy tools can be used between sessions.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
