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!

My go-to approach for family therapy is structural family therapy. I find the best benefit in structural family therapy because it works on the family as an entire system and studies how each individual may impact the family as a whole.
I teach the following tools in family therapy
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when they report less conflict within their family structure.
Clients can supplement their time on family therapy by practicing techniques learned in sessions and completing homework assigned during sessions.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, I would encourage the family to be open-minded, be willing to hear each member of the family out, and encourage each member to be open during sessions for best results.
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 Pflugerville, 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 Pflugerville, 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.
When one person struggles, often, the whole family struggles. Has your family faced any of these challenges?
If yes, consider seeking help from a professional counselor. Family therapy has helped many families consider the challenges they face and make adjustments so that everyone feels better. The counselors at Thriveworks Pflugerville have the tools that your family needs to come together again. Reach out today to schedule your first family therapy session.
Family therapy considers each individual as they are placed within the family unit. This may include look at the family’s role, coping mechanisms, expectations, and more. The most common approaches to counseling families are family systems therapy and family structural therapy. These are based upon the idea that families, for good or bad, shape people’s identities and behaviors. Thus, helping the family as a whole function well means each individual member benefits.
Building a strong family unit has many potential rewards, including …
Think about some of the challenges your family faces. Is more than one person contributing to the problem? Could more than one person contribute to the solution? If so, family therapy may be a good option. Specifically, consider family therapy if your family is struggling with the following challenges:
Family therapy is not a magic formula, but it has helped many families breakout of unhealthy patterns and work together in harmony. If the individual members are willing to do the work, a Thriveworks counselor can guide the family toward more peaceful, loving relationships.
