About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying heavy feelings from trauma, family patterns, anxiety, grief, or guilt and shame. People often come when they feel misunderstood, overextended, or stuck repeating old dynamics.
Alicia centers practical work on helping people notice patterns that came from childhood or controlling relationships. She talks through how overthinking, people-pleasing, and caretaking habits keep daily life smaller than it needs to be. Sessions focus on actionable steps like boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.
Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods, with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That mix is used to help people reconnect with their values, rebuild trust in their own judgment, and shift painful reactions that repeat across relationships.
Alicia identifies as neurodivergent-affirming and notes that some adults find it hard to fit typical therapy models. She adapts pacing and expectations so the work is manageable. The emphasis is on small, steady changes rather than dramatic fixes.
She also supports people who carry caregiver strain or compassion fatigue, helping them separate identity from role and protect their own health. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Alicia draws often from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them and then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when guilt or shame lead to avoidance or self-criticism. EFT focuses on emotions in close relationships and helps people name and reorganize painful interaction patterns so they can seek connection more clearly. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools as needs become clearer rather than sticking to a single roadmap. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins can work around a work break, and remote visits can remove travel time. Therapists can also use video or phone to pace sessions differently depending on energy, bandwidth, or comfort with being on camera.Areas of expertise
