Great to meet you!

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.

My approach to 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 goals is always to foster insight, allowing clients to better understand themselves and walking alongside them through progress.

What you can expect from me

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. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my first role is to understand your worldview so that I can better facilitate opportunities for you to improve in your areas of value. I look forward to supporting you, and would be honored to receive your call.
