About Anicia

Anicia Battles is a licensed social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She centers her work on practical skill building and emotional understanding, using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered methods. With nine years of practice, she brings experience addressing issues like parenting challenges, postpartum depression, trauma and abuse, workplace concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Her style emphasizes respect, warmth, and a strengths-based perspective that supports clients as they identify values, learn coping strategies, and rebuild connection. Anicia has worked with families that include young children and has experience providing infant mental health-informed support since 2014, yet she also works with individuals across a wide range of life stressors and backgrounds.

She aims to collaborate with each person to meet them where they are and to develop realistic, tailored steps toward healthier functioning and greater emotional balance.

Approach-Focused Support Available Online

Anicia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy principles to explore connection, bonding, and relational patterns that influence family and interpersonal dynamics. These approaches are presented in straightforward, goal-oriented ways that aim to increase immediate coping while addressing longer-term relational themes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to match techniques to their goals, values, and preferences. Together they review what’s been helpful, try specific strategies, and adjust the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the client's situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support regardless of location within Michigan.
