About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people through relationship and life stress. She brings eight years of experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Alicia works from Colorado and offers care that focuses on what matters most to each person.
Alicia often helps people who are struggling with intimacy, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges tied to identity including LGBT issues. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, body image, and communication problems. In sessions she draws on therapies that focus on values, behavior, and emotional skills.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Alicia also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when more emotion regulation or distress tolerance strategies are helpful. Client-centered techniques guide conversations so people feel heard and understood. Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person.
Many sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and making change that fits daily life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions where direction and purpose feel unclear.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work is useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and patterns of avoidance or fear in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what the person needs now and later.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
