About Alicia
Alicia Sauers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with six years of counseling experience. She spent over 20 years in the mental health field before focusing on counseling work. Alicia works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes.
She often helps people who are adjusting to shifts in family life, including blended family issues and related communication challenges. Alicia pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment, and parenting stress as they affect everyday relationships. Her approach is straightforward: talk through what happened, identify what is getting in the way now, and try concrete steps to move forward.
Alicia describes counseling as a collaborative process. She supports clients in reframing thoughts and building coping skills. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and setting boundaries.
Her background includes a psychology degree from Grand Valley State University and a master’s degree in counseling from Spring Arbor University. Those academic foundations inform how she blends listening with skill building. Alicia adapts her pace to each person, whether the issue is long-standing or recent.
People typically work on recognizing what they can control, managing difficult feelings, and strengthening self-advocacy. The emphasis is on practical progress rather than labels. For someone juggling stepfamily roles, co-parenting stress, or shifts after a move, Alicia offers focused, practical help.
Approaches for practical change and online care
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She focuses on helping people reframe unhelpful thoughts and build skills to manage anxiety and depression. That involves identifying patterns that keep stress active and practicing clearer ways to respond when emotions flare.She also draws on methods that address trauma and grief by pacing exploration of difficult memories and building emotion-regulation skills. This helps people tolerate difficult feelings while they work on daily functioning and relationships, including blended household challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then try approaches that can be adjusted over time.
