Alicia Austin-Townsend is the founder of Love Aligned Coaching LLC. She brings a thoughtful, structured, and values-driven approach to coaching, shaped by years of professional experience high-achieving professionals and couples build values-aligned relationships while navigating the demands of leadership, career growth, and family life. With more than 15 years of experience in leadership with organizational oversight, Alicia is known as a strategic thinker and a calm presence in complexity. She brings a systems-informed perspective to her work, helping reduce burnout, improve communication, and create sustainable changes that support both personal fulfillment and professional success.
Alicia provides coaching for professionals who are experiencing emotional exhaustion, resentment, emotional labor imbalance, or recurring conflict in their marriages and partnerships. Her work focuses on strengthening communication skills, clarifying values, setting healthy boundaries, and supporting long-term relationship satisfaction rather than short-term fixes.
Her professional lens is shaped by lived experience, including marriage, divorce, and remarriage, as well as parenting three children across different life stages. She brings a culturally responsive, real-world perspective to her work.
Alicia is also a CA-licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. While this professional background informs her understanding of relationships, services offered through Love Aligned Coaching LLC are strictly non-clinical services. Coaching is provided separately from psychotherapy and does not create a therapist-client relationship.
Love Aligned Coaching LLC was founded to support individuals and couples who want to navigate relationships, leadership, and life decisions with clarity, intention, and alignment.
Coaching at Love Aligned is grounded in the belief that people are capable, resourceful, and able to create meaningful change when given space for reflection, skill-building, and accountability.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Coaching focuses on your goals and actions in the present and future. It is not designed to treat mental health conditions or provide clinical therapy. That work belongs to licensed mental health professionals. Coaching complements growth but does not replace clinical treatment when needed.
*Love Aligned Coaching LLC provides non-clinical coaching services only and does not offer psychotherapy, counseling, or mental health treatment.*
My process is grounded in the belief that lasting change in relationships—and in leadership—comes from clarity, accountability, and practical skill-building. My coaching process is structures for individuals and couples who want sustainable growth, not quick fixes.
My approach is structured yet relational, research-based yet practical, and always tailored to the realities of busy, high-responsibility lives.
Each stage of my work builds intentionally on the last, creating momentum while allowing space for reflection, insight, and real-world application.
We begin with a collaborative discovery conversation to clarify what matters to you and where you want to go. This includes exploring relationship dynamics, communication patterns, stressors, values, and belief systems that influence how you show up in your relationships.
This phase creates clarity—so you’re not just reacting to symptoms, but addressing the root of the issue.
Strong outcomes are built on trust. I prioritize rapport-building that allows you to feel supported, understood, and challenged in a constructive way. My style is warm, reflective, and direct, creating space for honest conversations without judgment or shame.
This collaborative foundation allows us to work efficiently and go deeper, especially for clients who are used to being “the strong one” or carrying responsibility for others.
Coaching at Love Aligned is:
Forward-focused rather than problem-oriented
Rooted in personal responsibility and agency
Designed to support clarity, skill-building, and intentional action
Collaborative, reflective, and growth-oriented
Clients are supported in exploring patterns, strengthening communication, and making aligned decisions without diagnosis, treatment, or clinical intervention.
Coaching may be a good fit for individuals who:
Want greater clarity in relationships or leadership roles
Are navigating transitions, burnout, or competing responsibilities
Desire practical tools and accountability for personal growth
Are seeking non-clinical support focused on the present and future
Coaching is not appropriate for crisis situations or as a substitute for mental health treatment.
Lasting change requires integration. In this phase, we focus on applying insights and skills consistently across relationships, leadership roles, and life transitions. The goal is not perfection, but sustainability—creating patterns that support long-term relationship health and emotional well-being.
Clients leave this work with increased self-awareness, clearer boundaries, stronger communication skills, and the confidence to navigate challenges with intention.
Love Aligned Coaching LLC provides non-clinical coaching services only. Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, or mental health treatment and is not a substitute for such services. Although the founder is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, coaching services are provided solely in a coaching capacity.
Clients are always encouraged to seek appropriate professional support when needs fall outside the scope of coaching.
