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 dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, and low self-esteem. Alicia supports people who feel overextended, misunderstood, or stuck in repeating patterns that came from earlier relationships.
She focuses on practical steps that change day-to-day thinking and behavior. Sessions often look at how past experiences influence current reactions. Alicia helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, set clearer boundaries, and make small changes that fit their life. She also supports caregivers who have a pattern of over-functioning and losing sight of their own needs.
Alicia integrates several evidence-based approaches in her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship patterns, and she incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and test thoughts that fuel anxiety and guilt. Sessions include practical skills for managing intense emotions, communication, and problem-solving.
Her style is straightforward and focused on real-world change. Clients learn tools for emotional regulation and ways to rebuild trust in their own decisions. The work includes processing past hurts while practicing new responses in current life.
People interested in starting can expect a clear first step: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test thoughts that keep them anxious or stuck. CBT provides clear exercises and short experiments to try between sessions, which can fit into everyday routines.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients name their values and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT focuses on practical steps toward what matters rather than trying to eliminate difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and to practice new ways of connecting and communicating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and homework so they work well in an online setting, helping clients apply skills between meetings.
