Alicia Fowler, LMSW

Alicia Fowler, LMSW, is a neurodivergent-affirming therapist and the founder of Therapy By Alicia and Hope Together Health & Wellness. As someone who is neurodivergent herself, she brings lived experience to her work and creates a space where neurodiversity is recognized and respected. Alicia focuses on helping adults recover from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, address OCD and relationship trauma, and navigate painful family patterns often rooted in narcissistic, controlling, or emotionally neglectful environments.

Many people who seek Alicia's support feel misunderstood, overextended, or trapped in repeating dynamics that interfere with their wellbeing. She also works with over-functioning caregivers who want to learn how to set boundaries, attend to their own needs, and separate their identity from the impulse to constantly help others. Her style emphasizes compassionate exploration of patterns rather than judgement, helping clients build more secure and empowered connections with themselves and with others.

Alicia uses an integrative approach that draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Those methods are applied with practical, evidence-informed techniques to improve emotional regulation, strengthen trust in one’s inner voice, and develop new patterns aligned with personal values. In sessions she aims to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental environment where people can process past and present pain, practice self-compassion, release excessive control, and cultivate healthier relationships.

Healing, in Alicia's practice, is framed as a process of remembering and reclaiming the self rather than becoming someone else. She welcomes adults ready to move from survival toward greater authenticity and connection and offers collaborative support along that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches That Work Well Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, and then take action consistent with personal values - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection in relationships by identifying interaction patterns and creating new, more secure ways of relating - it is useful for relationship trauma, attachment wounds, and couples work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, OCD, depression, and daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work aligns with what helps them most.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility for busy lives - sessions can happen via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and at varied times.
