About Alicia

Alicia Fowler is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience in Michigan, she works from an empathetic, client-centered stance to support people who feel stuck in repeating family patterns, overfunctioning roles, or chronic self-doubt. Alicia draws on practical strategies to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with their values.

Her practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Alicia pays particular attention to dynamics shaped by abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and family-of-origin issues, and she also addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, and challenges related to neurodivergence.

She communicates in English and provides care through a range of online session formats, guiding each person toward clearer coping skills and more authentic relationships.

How Alicia’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions where taking value-driven action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and coping strategies; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting work on attachment wounds, trust, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Alicia will work with each person to identify goals, consider which methods fit best with their preferences and life circumstances, and adapt interventions over time to match progress and emerging needs.

Online therapy with Alicia is offered through several flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it possible to attend sessions from home or while balancing work and caregiving responsibilities, and they allow for a mix of real-time conversation and ongoing written check-ins as needed.
