About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is a licensed master social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside related stress and relationship issues. She works with adults who feel stuck in repeating family patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or burned out from caregiving. Her style is warm and direct, helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes that fit their lives.
Alicia draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and act on those values.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thoughts that increase worry or shame. Emotionally-Focused ideas support repairing how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions are a mix of gentle reflection and concrete skills practice.
Alicia helps clients set realistic goals and build new habits one step at a time. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and complex family dynamics. With 11 years of clinical experience, Alicia brings practical tools and lived understanding to her work.
She holds an LMSW - licensed master social worker - and is based in Michigan. Conversations are held in English and tailored to each person's needs. Many clients begin by focusing on clearer boundaries, less reactivity, and stronger self-trust.
Alicia aims to make therapy useful and manageable for busy lives, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward steadier relationships and wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy family lives
Alicia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clear on what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and moving toward meaningful action, which can help with anxiety and life transitions.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to support healthier emotional connection and repair patterns that came from early relationships. EFT-style work focuses on understanding emotions and changing how people respond in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for each person. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep and which to change.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue work while traveling, or check in between appointments. The variety of formats supports different needs for depth, convenience, and ongoing coaching.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
