About Alicia

Alicia Fowler is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, ADHD, and family-related concerns. Alicia also focuses on issues that stem from early family roles and patterns, including family of origin issues, attachment difficulties, and codependency.

Many people come to her after noticing the same dynamics repeat in relationships and work. She talks through how childhood roles, expectations, and patterns still influence choices today. Sessions include practical skills for managing anxiety, problem-solving around boundaries, and slowing down automatic reactions.

Alicia blends approaches rather than using only one method. She commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people clarify values and respond differently to old triggers. Work often includes exercises to increase emotional awareness and small behavior changes to test new ways of relating.

She is neurodivergent-affirming and names neurodiversity as part of how she works with some clients. That perspective can shape goals, pacing, and how coping strategies are adapted for attention and sensory differences.

Alicia emphasizes practical steps over labels. Typical topics include boundary setting for over-functioning caregivers, handling family conflict, and rebuilding trust in personal choices. The focus is on learning tools that fit everyday life and noticing small changes that accumulate over time.

How Alicia integrates therapeutic approaches in online work

Alicia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT focuses on small, value-guided steps and is helpful for anxiety, stress, and making different choices in relationships.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people recognize and respond to emotional patterns that affect connection and closeness. EFT work looks at interaction cycles and helps people try new ways of responding when old patterns get triggered.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend methods that fit. That shared decision-making helps set realistic steps and pace.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Alicia adapts exercises and homework so they can be used between sessions and integrate into everyday routines.
