In this episode of the State Bar of Texas Podcast, host Rocky Dhir welcomes Alicia Freeman of the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program (TLAP) to learn about tools to manage emotional distress—for lawyers and clients. Lawyers often face relentless exposure to stress and trauma, whether navigating emotionally charged areas of the law, handling high-stakes matters, or confronting a host of other pressures inherent to the profession. They discuss how to appropriately engage with clients’ emotional needs, set healthy boundaries, and provide necessary resources.
Alicia Freeman is a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a bachelor’s in political science. She is a TLAP clinical professional for the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program at the State Bar of Texas, the owner of Freeman Counseling and Consulting LLC, and co-host for the My Therapist Needs a Therapist podcast.
