Alicia Burley, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Alicia!

I'm glad you've taken this step. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stressful situations, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be your authentic self.

My focus

I focus on women navigating anxiety, depression, career choices, stress, and finding balance. I've supported adults through life-changing medical diagnoses, grief, and more. I look forward to exploring your personal goals and developing attainable, meaningful plans together.

My approach

I have a genuine desire to listen and address what's important to you without judgment. My approach is flexible and client-centered, using strategies to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns while building coping skills. This gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors.

My communication style

I practice active listening and seek clarification to understand your point of view. I'm open, honest, compassionate, and encouraging. I'll communicate my thoughts directly when appropriate and hold you accountable as we navigate therapy together. I'm here to guide and support you, not judge you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love people and went into the helping profession simply to help. Growing up in a diverse environment and seeing so many struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma, I wanted to help others heal, overcome challenges, and lead successful lives.

My goals for you

We'll work collaboratively to identify and set goals based on what's important to you. Goals may change as we work together, and that's okay. While I'm here to share my expertise and provide tools, you are the expert of your life. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward.

Our first session

Think of our first session as a detailed meet and greet. I'll ask questions about your background and understand why now is the time to start therapy. We'll set initial goals to guide treatment. You might feel nervous, but I'm down-to-earth and will help you through the process. I look forward to meeting you.
