About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) based in Michigan with 11 years of clinical experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family problems, relationship concerns, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem issues. Alicia also notes a focus on blended family issues and related challenges such as attachment wounds and communication problems.
She describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and draws on practical strategies to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions address overthinking, people-pleasing, and replayed childhood dynamics that show up in adult relationships. Alicia often helps caregivers who over-function learn to set clearer boundaries and tend to their own needs.
Her approach combines elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods, with additional ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That mix is used to build emotional regulation skills, strengthen personal values, and shift unhelpful habits. The focus is on small, concrete changes rather than jargon or long plans.
She aims to make sense of how past experiences shape current reactions and to support people as they test new ways of relating. Work in sessions includes noticing patterns, practicing different responses, and revising expectations about relationships and roles in the household. This can be especially relevant for adults navigating stepfamily routines, loyalty conflicts, and co-parenting adjustments.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making steady changes that fit daily life.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to look at how emotions shape patterns in close relationships. EFT-style work helps people notice reactions, name needs, and practice different responses when feeling triggered or disconnected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as those goals shift over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, child care, or medical needs. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people use video or audio depending on how they want to show up. Licensed professionals can help translate in-person techniques to remote sessions so clients keep practicing new habits during everyday life.
