About Alicia

Alicia Sauers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with six years of counseling experience. She spent earlier years in the mental health field before focusing on direct counseling work. Alicia lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes among the concerns she works with.

Alicia describes counseling as a collaborative process. She helps people look at past experiences and identify patterns that might be holding them back. From there she works with clients to set practical steps forward at a pace that feels manageable.

She has experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life transitions and relationship challenges. Her background includes work with issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, fertility and cancer-related stress, and problems linked to guilt and shame.

In sessions she focuses on strengthening coping skills and clarifying what a person can and cannot control. She uses active listening and helps clients reframe thoughts and try small behavioral changes. The aim is to give people tools they can use between sessions.

Alicia asks people to move at their own speed and adapts approaches to each person’s needs. She works in English and practices in Michigan. To begin a match process the site questionnaire and scheduling steps are used.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing alternatives; this helps with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Another approach centers on building coping skills and small behavioral changes to manage stress and grief in everyday life. Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to weigh options, try methods, and adjust based on what works and what does not. The therapist and client set goals together and check progress over time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If scheduling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments is important, ask about session timing and length when you complete the matching questionnaire.
