About Anicia
Anicia Battles, LMSW, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with parents and adults facing parenting strain, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and affirming and she aims to make therapy feel manageable and practical.
She has nine years of experience in mental health and has worked a great deal with early parenthood, supporting birth to 7 year olds through Infant Mental Health Therapy settings.
Background and approach
That background informs how she talks about attachment, bonding, and the demands of caring for young children. She also addresses postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women's issues. In sessions she uses down-to-earth methods like cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts, narrative work to reframe personal stories, and attachment-based ideas to improve relationships with close others.
She aims to teach simple skills for emotional regulation and coping so people can try new ways of handling stress between appointments. Her style is client-centered and strength-based. She tries to listen first, learn a person's goals, and then collaborate on practical steps.
She emphasizes respect, compassion, and sensitivity when talking about difficult topics such as trauma, abandonment, or guilt and shame. Anicia practices in Michigan and provides services in English. Her approach may suit someone looking for supportive, practical counseling for anxiety, parenting strain, family problems, or life changes.
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people repair connection and trust in close relationships through discussion and practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for short updates or ongoing encouragement. These options make it simpler to work on anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship issues, and life changes without traveling to appointments.
