About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family-related concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationships, grief, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Alicia describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and works with adults who feel stuck by old patterns or caregiving roles that have become overwhelming.
Alicia helps people notice how childhood wounds and family dynamics affect current relationships. She talks through patterns like people-pleasing, overthinking, and codependency. Sessions are practical and grounded, focused on small shifts that change daily interactions and limit repeating harmful cycles.
Her work combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods, with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix is used to build emotional regulation, strengthen self-trust, and practice different ways of relating. Alicia aims to help clients act on their values rather than on fear-driven habits.
She pays particular attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and the impact of controlling or emotionally neglectful environments. Alicia also supports adults managing chronic illness, autism-related concerns, dissociation, and struggles with shame or guilt.
People who come with caregiving fatigue get specific help around boundaries and reclaiming parts of life outside caretaking. The approach favors steady, concrete steps - practice in session and small experiments between meetings that relate directly to home life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite anxiety or difficult thoughts. ACT focuses on actions you can practice that line up with personal priorities rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.She also draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which pays attention to how emotions shape interactions and attachment needs. EFT techniques are useful for understanding relationship patterns and learning new ways to respond to emotional signals in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you’ll decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape the plan and adjusts as you learn what helps most.
Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and practice new skills in the context of daily life. Therapists can also adapt exercises so they work during a phone call or a video meeting depending on what is most practical for you.
