My name is Alicia Thompson, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia. I deeply believe in the power of therapy to support individuals through good times and the bad, and I’m passionate about helping my clients develop skills to address challenges such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to empower clients to care for themselves in ways that are both healthy and productive.
You can expect a collaborative and safe environment where we will focus on building our relationship first, while setting a foundation to our future goals and objectives for therapy.
In my approach to therapy, I draw from a compassionate and nurturing stance. I integrate cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients recognize distressing patterns of behavior, and together, we develop solution-focused, trauma informed, and culturally competent strategies to create actionable steps for change.
My goal is to work with clients that have identified areas of distress in their lives but are unsure of the sources of the distress. Using strong therapeutic rapport skills, I'm able to help clients gain insight into their distress and create action steps to address the issues.

Since this was my first meeting with Alicia, I felt very comfortable talking to her. I think she will be a good fit for me.
