About Hermine
Hermine Price-Spain is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, life changes, and issues related to LGBT identity and family concerns. Hermine draws on more than three decades of experience and offers coaching alongside therapy-focused support.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions center on listening first so people feel heard. From there she uses practical, goal-focused steps that aim to reduce distress and build daily coping skills. The style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on small changes that add up.
Hermine uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help manage overwhelming feelings and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Solution-focused methods guide short-term goal setting and measurable progress.
People come to her for a mix of life problems - caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, or struggles with control and dependent personality patterns. She also addresses addiction, drug and alcohol concerns, and the emotional aftermath of divorce and family-of-origin wounds.
With 33 years of practice, Hermine blends counseling and coaching to help clients find purpose and greater emotional balance. She invites people to take the next step and to work together on realistic, achievable goals.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Hermine uses client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing to shape work with each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to you, helping build trust and clearer goals. Motivational interviewing helps uncover and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, which can be useful when dealing with addictions, low motivation, or ambivalence about life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. That helps keep the plan practical and relevant to real life demands.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a break, and let people practice mindfulness or coping skills in their everyday routines. It also supports following through on solution-focused tasks between meetings so progress can be tracked week to week.
