Alicia Fitzpatrick

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


With a strong foundation in both social work and law enforcement, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and practical perspective to therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and spent eight years in law enforcement, primarily working patrol. This experience gave me the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives.

Through my professional work—and my own lived experiences with critical and traumatic incidents—I developed a deep commitment to helping others heal from trauma. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, processing difficult past experiences, and building resilience for the future.

My approach blends clinical expertise with real-world understanding to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I strive to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to life transitions, or seeking healthier coping strategies, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your inner resources, and move forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path toward healing and personal growth.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Cleveland

Searching for family therapists in Cleveland starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and major life changes. As you compare Cleveland therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match what your family wants to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or other relational methods.

In a mid-sized city like Cleveland, you may find a range of in-person offices across nearby neighborhoods and suburbs, along with virtual appointments that expand your options. For family therapy in Cleveland, it helps to ask how sessions are structured. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, couples, or one family member at a time. Also consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works with family dynamics and what to expect.

Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists in Cleveland, Ohio, choose between virtual and in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
