Since 2016, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals in navigating anxiety, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, focus issues, and overcoming challenges. My approach is centered on helping clients shift thought patterns to create healthier perspectives, and I work to provide a professional yet welcoming environment where people feel heard, understood, and supported.

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!

Structural Family Therapy or family systems therapy
Listening skills, communication skills, identification and definition of family roles, recognition of shared objectives
I know progress is being made when there is increased mutual recognition and appreciation, when disagreement can become productive vs. a source of animosity and hurt.
Clients can supplement time in family therapy with outside reading about relationship skills, when family members increase shared activity, - journaling to reflect on their experiences between sessions.
To prepare for the first family therapy session, an individual can make a list of important topics they want addressed, identify goals for change, - take time to reflect on the need for solutions to be cooperative and to be respectful of other family member's needs.
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 Cedar Park, 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 Cedar Park, 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.
Every family faces challenges that knock it off balance, and seeking an outside perspective can help regain equilibrium. Family therapy has supported many families through such challenges, helping each member grow together.
At Thriveworks Cedar Park, our therapists are dedicated to supporting families through life’s difficulties. We believe families can face their problems together—simply call our office at (512) 975-2978 to start working with a family therapist today.
Family counseling often utilizes family structural therapy and family systems therapy. These techniques focus on how a family provides comfort, sets expectations, copes with stress, and defines values. Understanding these functions helps families understand each member and fosters unity and peace. Therapists may also explore personality types, birth order, and love languages to achieve this understanding.
The goal of family therapy is interdependence, where each member’s unique needs and talents are respected, and everyone works together and supports each other. Healthy, interdependent families experience many benefits, including:
Consider family therapy if multiple people in your family are affected by a challenge and the way forward will affect everyone. Family therapy can provide a safe space to work through issues together. Common situations that may benefit from family therapy include:
These challenges don’t have easy fixes, but with time, empathy, and humility, families can learn to work together.
