About Alicia

Alicia Fowler is an LMSW with 11 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Alicia also lists coaching as part of her work.

She identifies as neurodivergent and describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming. That perspective informs how she talks about challenges like overthinking, people-pleasing, and replaying childhood wounds in adult relationships. Alicia emphasizes helping people who feel misunderstood or overextended and those who want to break repeating dynamics that keep them stuck.

Alicia draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools. In sessions she aims to strengthen emotional regulation and rebuild trust in a client's inner voice.

She often works with issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and communication problems. Other areas listed include chronic pain and illness, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality concerns, dissociation, and forgiveness work.

Practical work in sessions includes identifying patterns, practicing boundary drawing, and learning ways to step back from over-functioning roles. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients follow the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Alicia integrates EFT, ACT, and attachment work online

Alicia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with hard-to-identify emotions and attachment patterns that show up in relationships. EFT focuses on the emotional experience and how it shapes interactions, which can help when old relational habits keep repeating.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and then choosing actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based approaches are used to look at early relationship experiences and how they influence current connections and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment work, or a blend makes the most sense given goals and circumstances. She frames that choice as a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will fit into your day.
