About Anicia

Anicia Battles, LMSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works plainly and directly to build practical skills for coping. Her style is warm and steady, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer routines and calmer responses.

Battles has nine years of experience working with issues like depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse. She pays attention to attachment concerns and the stress that comes from abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and bonding difficulties.

The aim is to strengthen connections, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build day-to-day coping skills. Her background in infant mental health and early parenthood informs how she approaches parenting and bonding topics. Battles uses a strengths-based stance, honoring what already works while naming small, realistic steps forward.

She keeps recommendations practical and geared toward each person's situation. Battles offers sessions in English from Michigan and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support

How attachment work and online sessions fit together

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness, or patterns that repeat in relationships by identifying those patterns and trying new ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace so the client feels seen and respected while deciding what changes to make.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building concrete coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try options and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep momentum and apply what is learned in day-to-day life.
