About Alicia
Alicia Fowler is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who helps adults struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship pain. She is neurodivergent-affirming and aims to make therapy a place where people feel seen and understood. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on what a person needs now to feel safer and more steady.
Alicia draws from somatic practices to bring attention to how the body holds stress and emotion.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients name their values and shift patterns that no longer serve them. Sessions often include simple, actionable skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication. Many clients come because they feel stuck in family patterns, people-pleasing, or caregiving roles that erase their own needs.
Alicia helps people notice those patterns and begin trying different ways of responding. She works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, codependency, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, and attachment issues. Alicia has 11 years of experience and holds the Michigan LMSW credential.
She provides therapy from Michigan and offers sessions in English. Her practice supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and significant life changes. In therapy with Alicia, clients can expect a steady, compassionate guide who mixes body-centered work with practical tools.
The focus is on small, sustainable shifts that build a more supported sense of self. The process is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.
How Alicia blends body-focused and values-based work online
Alicia uses Somatic Therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and to teach gentle practices that reduce physical holding and tension. Somatic work can be helpful for trauma, chronic pain, and ongoing anxiety by grounding attention in bodily experience.She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into sessions to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on skills for managing difficult thoughts and staying committed to meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to trace patterns that formed in early relationships and to practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alicia treats the selection as a team effort, asking about goals, comfort, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they test approaches and adjust based on what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. These options allow consistent meetings and timely support between sessions, helping people practice skills in real-life contexts while keeping therapy convenient and flexible.
