About Alicia

Alicia Fowler, LMSW, helps people who feel stuck by the patterns they grew up with. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship pain, and the fallout of emotionally neglectful or controlling environments. Many clients find her approach useful when they want to stop replaying old hurts and start trusting themselves again.

Alicia describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and draws on practical therapy methods to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns, learning tools to tolerate strong feelings, and practicing small steps that match a person's values. She pays attention to how family history and attachment shape current relationships and choices.

Her background includes eleven years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work license as an LMSW. That experience informs a down-to-earth style that balances emotional processing with concrete skills. Clients often work on boundaries, managing people-pleasing, and reclaiming a sense of self beyond caretaking roles.

Alicia uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based tools to tailor work to each person's needs. Therapy sessions aim to rebuild trust in your own voice, reduce overwhelm, and make lasting behavior changes that feel achievable.

If someone is coping with trauma, ADHD, codependency, chronic illness, or attachment wounds, Alicia offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence. She helps people move from surviving toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and more self-compassion.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotional responses in relationships and building stronger, more secure connections with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Alicia treats that as a collaborative decision. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques rather than insisting on a single method. That way the work matches the client's needs and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins while juggling work, school, or caregiving. It can also make some check-in sessions feel lighter when more focused skills practice is helpful. Licensed professionals can adjust activities for virtual sessions so meaningful progress continues without requiring in-person attendance.
