About Alicia
Alicia Sauers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with six years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Alicia works with individuals to identify what is getting in the way and to take practical steps forward at a comfortable pace.
She trained in psychology at Grand Valley State University and completed a master’s degree in counseling at Spring Arbor University. Before focusing on counseling, she spent many years in the broader mental health field, which informs how she supports clients now. Alicia frames counseling as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals guide each session.
In sessions she talks through past experiences to help people understand patterns and identify small, manageable changes. She helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills for difficult emotions. The work is paced to fit each person’s readiness for change.
Alicia also addresses relationship and family-related concerns by helping individuals improve communication and set boundaries. She supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and related stresses that affect day-to-day life.
Other areas she commonly works with include body image, caregiver stress, fertility and cancer-related challenges, first responder issues, and grief tied to loss or major life transitions. Her approach emphasizes practical strategies, steady progress, and helping people become better advocates for themselves.
Sessions are offered in English from Michigan. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One approach focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; this involves noticing thought patterns and practicing alternative, balanced ways of thinking. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for coping with strong emotions and stressful situations through step-by-step strategies people can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts methods as those needs change over time.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy that day - for example, a focused, brief session rather than a longer in-person visit. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between appointments.
