About Alicia
Alicia Sauers is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Michigan with six years focused on counseling. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Alicia also pays attention to attachment concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family issues.
Alicia trained in psychology at Grand Valley State University and completed a master’s degree in counseling at Spring Arbor University. She views counseling as a collaborative process where the client’s voice guides the work. Sessions look at past experiences, identify unhelpful patterns, and then move toward practical steps the person can try.
Her approach is flexible and practical. She listens, reflects, and helps people reframe thoughts so they can notice small shifts. The pace is set by the client and aims for steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Alicia often supports people through relationship stress and life transitions. She also addresses specific concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, fertility and cancer-related issues, first responder stress, guilt and shame, and coping after disasters.
Clients work on recognizing what they can control, building coping skills for difficult emotions, and strengthening communication. Alicia emphasizes respect and straightforward feedback while helping people practice new ways of responding in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Alicia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts so they can respond differently to stress and anxiety. This method is useful for daily mood shifts, worry, and overwhelm.Another helpful strand concentrates on processing difficult experiences and trauma by pacing the work and strengthening coping skills. This approach aims to reduce the hold past events have on current reactions and supports better emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Alicia treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they revise the plan as progress or new priorities emerge.
