About Alicia Fowler
Alicia Fowler is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who centers her practice on helping adults move beyond survival and toward more authentic connection and wellbeing. She is neurodivergent and offers neurodivergent-affirming care, bringing personal insight to work with clients who feel misunderstood or overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, depression, obsessive thoughts, or recurring relationship patterns shaped by controlling or emotionally neglectful family dynamics. Many people seek her support when old patterns - including those formed in childhood - replay in adult relationships and create barriers to feeling secure and understood.
She also works with over-functioning caregivers who want to learn how to set boundaries, attend to their own needs, and step away from identities built primarily on helping others. Her approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental, focusing on exploring patterns with curiosity while supporting clients to strengthen emotional regulation and rebuild trust in their inner voice. Alicia integrates several evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Schema work, Cognitive Behavioral strategies, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy - to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect a grounded therapeutic relationship that emphasizes self-compassion, practical tools, and gradual change. She invites those who are ready to move from surviving to engaging in more secure and meaningful relationships to take the next step toward healing and growth.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take action in ways that align with their values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. This approach supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.She also employs Emotionally Focused Therapy to address patterns of disconnection in relationships, helping people and couples identify core emotions, improve emotional attunement, and repair trust. For more cognitive and skills-based work, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to recognize unhelpful thinking and develop practical strategies for managing mood and behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - expand access and allow for scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from wherever a person is located within the therapist's service area.
