About Alicia
Alicia Hensley is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Alicia provides a calm, respectful space for people to talk about grief, self-esteem, and major life changes.
She works with adults facing chronic pain, illness, and disability and helps them navigate the everyday impact of those challenges. Sessions often include simple tools to cope with difficult feelings and to build routines that make life more manageable.
Background and approach
Alicia adapts her approach to each person's needs and goals. In session she draws on evidence-based techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She may suggest breathing or grounding exercises, thought-focused work to reduce worry, and practical steps for handling stressful situations.
The goal is to create options that fit daily life. Alicia has four years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Social Work degree. Her background includes supporting people through loss and caregiving strains.
She integrates personal values and, when requested, a Christian perspective into care. People who prefer remote sessions can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match individuals with the right clinician and time.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Alicia uses a few practical, evidence-based techniques to guide remote work. Mindfulness practices involve short grounding and breathing exercises that help reduce immediate anxiety and increase focus during stressful moments. Cognitive-focused work looks at unhelpful thoughts and offers simple skills to test and change worrying patterns, which can ease persistent anxiety and rumination.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit their daily routine, and adjust methods if something does not feel helpful. She invites clients to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health concerns. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for deeper connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions.
