About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to support people facing relationship and family challenges. She draws on eight years of hands-on experience and focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problem solving.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and steady steps forward. She blends therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build skills for emotional regulation and decision making.
Background and approach
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches shape how she builds trust and explores personal history. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when intense emotions or crisis coping are present. Alicia has experience addressing a wide range of concerns that often affect relationships and family life.
These include parenting strains, communication problems, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction and co-occurring conditions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her background includes work in multiple states and varied care settings over eight years.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Colorado. Alicia holds an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - with the following license details: AZ LCSW LCSW-22034 and OR LCSW L14792. She participates in online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. The early meetings focus on clear priorities and practical strategies tailored to each person's situation.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them, helping people move forward even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools for managing mood and anxiety.She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered principles to build a respectful, trusting relationship. These approaches help explore how past relationships shape current patterns and keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and Alicia collaborates with clients to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow ongoing check-ins between sessions, and offer flexible ways to practice skills. Licensed professionals can adapt standard therapeutic tools to remote work so people can continue progress from wherever they are.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
