Alecia Ford

I am a licensed mental health professional in Texas with four years of experience. I work with a diverse clientele, including adults, adolescents, and women. My education at Prairie View AM University and training at Baylor College of Medicine’s Anxiety Clinic have equipped me to treat Anxiety and OCD effectively. Additionally, supporting a family member with mental illness has strengthened my commitment to helping others in their mental health journeys.

My therapist’s approach to therapy influences my understanding of human relationships and client challenges. A common method is CBT, which focuses on changing distressing behaviors is client-centered, and emphasizes personal growth.

Key components of therapy include:

1. Goal Setting: Work with your therapist to set goals.

2. Active Participation: Be honest and open.

3. Homework: Complete assigned tasks.

4. Patience with Results: Understand that emotional issues can take time to improve.

I use various therapeutic approaches tailored to my client’s unique needs to promote growth and healing. These include Psycho-education for understanding mental health, Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful behaviors, Group Therapy for peer support, Person-Centered Therapy focused on the client's perspective, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) that seeks solutions rather than problems. I aim to empower clients to achieve meaningful change and lead fulfilling lives.
