Alicia Sauers is an LPC who began pursuing this work in her teens and later completed a master’s degree in counseling at Spring Arbor University. She has spent six years focused on counseling and brings a long personal commitment to helping people through hard moments. Alicia practices from Michigan and communicates in English.

Alicia describes therapy as a team effort. She helps people look at past experiences and find what might be keeping them stuck. Then she works with them to set small, practical steps forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family challenges, body image, cancer, fertility struggles, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.

Alicia emphasizes flexibility and meeting people where they are without judgment. Sessions typically center on listening closely, helping to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and building coping skills people can use day to day.

People who choose Alicia often want practical tools and steady support while they work through emotional pain or life transitions. She aims to help clients recognize their strengths, set boundaries, and move forward with clearer goals and more confidence.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with common problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people notice negative thinking and practice clearer, more balanced thoughts. Another approach centers on building coping skills and emotion regulation through step-by-step strategies that can be practiced between sessions; this is useful for stress, grief, and recovery after difficult events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia treats the process as collaborative and will help clients try approaches that match their goals and preferences. Over time she and the client review what’s working and adjust strategies so sessions stay useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Ask about available formats when scheduling to find the best fit for your routine.
