About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with eight years of experience, licensed in Arizona and Colorado. She works with people facing relationship and family concerns, intimacy and parenting struggles, and issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.
Alicia helps people unpack guilt and shame linked to relationships, family history, faith, and identity. She talks with clients about concrete patterns that keep painful feelings alive. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters now rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes supporting people through grief, bipolar mood challenges, and stress from work or caregiving. She also has experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring substance issues. That experience informs how she balances immediate coping skills with longer-term change.
Alicia uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s circumstances. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship history shapes current pain.
In sessions she centers the client's own goals and choices. Conversations aim to identify small, testable steps you can try between meetings. The focus is on clearer communication, managing emotional overwhelm, and making decisions that reflect personal values.
She offers therapy in English and practices in Colorado. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the service portal. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral ideas. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than being led by every harsh self-judgment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and closeness, which can be useful when shame or abandonment shows up in partnerships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, history, and what feels workable. That decision is reviewed over time so techniques change as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that remove travel time. They also allow flexible scheduling and easier coordination with work or caregiving obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, use tools such as behavioral experiments between meetings, and help people practice communication skills in real time to carry changes into daily life.
