Alice Ford

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a licensed therapist in Virginia with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma with deep compassion and professional expertise.

I bring a nuanced understanding to multicultural concerns, women’s issues, and the unique experiences of military veterans and their families. My approach is rooted in creating a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore their emotional experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop stronger interpersonal skills.

My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals navigate social anxiety, isolation, family dynamics, and personal transformation. I’m committed to supporting clients through communication challenges, guilt, shame, and the journey toward self-forgiveness and healing.

With a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach, I strive to meet each client exactly where they are, honoring their individual story and supporting their path toward emotional wellness and personal growth.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep regular appointments and sustain progress over time.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. That flexibility, along with the comparable effectiveness for many common issues, makes online therapy a practical option for many individuals seeking support.
