Alicia Fowler

Alicia Fowler is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by trauma, anxiety, or painful family patterns. She presents herself as a neurodivergent-affirming clinician and works with people who struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, and the fallout from controlling or emotionally neglectful relationships.

Alicia listens for the ways early wounds show up in current life. She helps clients notice repeating patterns and practice small, practical changes. Sessions emphasize compassionate problem solving rather than blame, and she supports people learning to set limits and prioritize their own needs.

Her approach combines several methods. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to rebuild trust in the self. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques are used as practical tools for emotional regulation and changing unhelpful thoughts.

Across eleven years of work she has supported people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, chronic illness concerns, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and career or relationship stress. Alicia also attends to issues like abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin wounds that keep people repeating old responses.

People who choose her usually want both practical strategies and a gentle, steady space to process difficult memories. To begin, she invites clients to name what keeps them feeling unsafe or overloaded and then maps steps toward clearer boundaries and renewed self-trust.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Alicia uses Trauma-Focused Therapy in sessions to help people process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. That work focuses on pacing, grounding, and building tolerance for difficult emotions so memories feel less overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take small, committed steps toward a life they care about rather than getting stuck in avoidance or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people practice new, more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and comfort. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what helps an individual feel able to try new behaviors and notice change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people meet from a familiar place while focusing on skills practice, emotion regulation, and real-life application between sessions.
