About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and painful family patterns. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Alicia aims to help clients feel less stuck and more able to make choices that reflect their values.
Clients often come feeling overwhelmed, exhausted from caregiving, or replaying old wounds in current relationships. Alicia listens openly and helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She supports people who want clearer boundaries and a stronger sense of self without judgment. Her work uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered practices. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build emotional regulation and practical coping skills. Alicia brings 11 years of clinical experience in Michigan and centers neurodivergent-affirming care in her practice. She helps people who face trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and relationship strain.
She also supports those coping with chronic illness, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. People who work with her can expect a calm, steady presence and down-to-earth guidance. The goal is not to erase hard feelings but to make them manageable and usable for change.
Alicia helps clients move from surviving to living with more ease and connection.
Evidence-based methods delivered online
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when anxiety or fear is present. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then acting in ways that matter to the client.She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns in close relationships. EFT helps people identify core emotional needs and change how they respond in relationship moments that trigger disconnection or shame.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. She helps clients try ideas, adjust what doesn't fit, and keep what works better over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper, experiential exercises, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat work well for brief support or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care around work, caregiving, or health needs while still using evidence-informed therapy.
