About
I understand how quietly heavy life can feel—even when everything looks “fine” on the outside.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting people through the messy, beautiful, and complicated parts of life. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, acute and chronic medical conditions, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for those ready to explore what healing might look like for them, knowing that every journey is unique. I bring compassion, perspective, and strength to the work we do together, meeting each client where they are and helping them move toward meaningful growth.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. My approach is collaborative, integrative, and strength-based, drawing on evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. I also use compassion-focused methods to build safety and reduce self-criticism.
Therapy with me isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about having a space where you can breathe, be real, and feel heard. I strive to create an environment where you don’t have to pretend, where you can voice the hard things and begin to find your way forward. I hope to support you as you uncover your own resilience and path to healing.

Alicia Ziegler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the Greater Boston area who has experience working with a variety of individuals facing challenges with unemployment, trauma, substance use disorders, mental health, violence including intimate partner violence, gun violence, gang violence, and race-based violence.
Alicia received her B.A. in Society and Health in 2008 from Simmons University.

Alicia addresses how trauma, institutionalized racism, White supremacy, microaggressions, race-based trauma, violence, poverty, homophobia, and transphobia impact an individual’s or group of individuals' access to healthcare, mental health care, housing, employment, and other services.

My approach for helping people in online therapy includes:
I teach a variety of tools in online therapy, including coping skills for depression and anxiety, cognitive restructuring, grounding, meditation, and relaxation.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client feels better about themselves and has improved daily functioning and relationships.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by practicing the skills they learned during their online sessions.
Before your first online therapy session, you can prepare to be yourself and block one hour in your weekly schedule for yourself.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
