About
My name is Alicia Solomon and I am a counseling and behavioral therapist that specializes in marriage and family therapy. My goal is to empower each individual that I work with to become the best version of themselves. I look forward to working with you as you start your journey to success.
I provide individual therapy sessions and have a passion for working with couples and families. I also provide behavioral therapy to modify problematic behavior, particularly in children, within the family dynamic, and I help adults overcome addictive behaviors. I believe that the path to success first starts in one's mind. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he…" —Proverbs 23:7. I like to help my clients "think" on a higher frequency, which leads to a higher quality of life. In my work, I have clients review worksheets and videos, I challenge their thinking, and I help them make the best decisions for themselves.
Clients may be assigned homework to review at their next session. I help clients identify their problem areas and give them tools to problem-solve through their issues. At times, clients may need to talk through their issues, and I encourage them to keep a pen and paper handy to take notes they can reference later.
If you are ready to live your life and move forward in a healthier way with clarity, confidence, and empowerment, please contact the scheduling team to get started today. I look forward to working with you!

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Little Elm, TX usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Little Elm, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
The licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) at Thriveworks in Little Elm, TX have extensive experience and training in family therapy modalities that can help couples and family members solve their problems with love, dignity, and values intact. A family therapy treatment plan is usually short term, not long term, and can be successfully completed in fewer than 12 sessions. If you think you and your family could benefit from therapy, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Little Elm to schedule your first session.
People often come to family therapy at Thriveworks in Little Elm, TX because they’re dealing with a specific issue or stressor at home. These issues might include the following:
If one person in the family is suffering from a psychological or behavioral health condition, it can affect the whole family. As the saying goes, a family can only be as happy as its least happy member. A family therapist might be able to identify areas where one family member could benefit from individual counseling or social work.
The goals for marriage and family therapy can differ from family to family. Some common goals that mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Little Elm, TX may encounter include the following:
Lessons related to these goals can serve family members for their entire lives.
A family counseling session works by first gathering everyone in the same room. (Though keep in mind that the room can be virtual these days. Thriveworks LMFTs offer online counseling sessions to families as well as traditional in-person sessions). Then the therapist, acting as a facilitator in this safe space, uses their communication skills to encourage each family member to talk about their goals for therapy. Depending on the ages and comfort levels of everyone involved, a therapist might use icebreaker exercises or games to put everyone at their ease.
One thing a family therapist doesn’t do is assign blame. LMFTs at Thriveworks in Little Elm, TX are responsible for finding new ways that everyone can work together and find solutions to their problems. They can also foster compassion between family members by helping them see each other’s points of view.
The licensed family therapists at Thriveworks in Little Elm, TX accept most major forms of health insurance coverage. If a family is paying out-of-pocket, Thriveworks offers competitive self-pay rates. This all helps enable access to critical mental health services for the people who need them.
Thriveworks family therapy can enhance the quality of your family bonds in myriad ways. All you have to do is call the office to get started. Our high-touch staff can help match you to a licensed counselor. If you call today, you and your loved ones may be able to meet with your exceptional therapist as early as this week.
We look forward to helping you and your family!
