About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. She uses straightforward methods to help people manage relationship strain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and career or parenting stress. Alicia keeps sessions focused and practical so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Alicia has eight years of experience in the mental health field. She holds an LCSW and practices in Colorado. Her background includes work with people facing addiction and substance use challenges, emotional trauma, and complex mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name concrete goals. She blends approaches that match each person's needs - for example skills to manage strong emotions, steps to improve communication, and exercises to build self-worth. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented so progress feels tangible.
Alicia often focuses on patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency, control issues, or attachment wounds from past abandonment or foster care experiences. She also addresses body image concerns, sexual identity and kink-related topics, and the stress that comes from caring for others when compassion fatigue sets in.
People meet her to work on specific problems like coping with life changes, handling relationship conflict, or reducing anxiety symptoms. She supports exploration around intimacy, commitment, and reclaiming pleasure and meaning after loss or difficult life events.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small actions toward a life that feels meaningful. ACT can be useful when someone is stuck avoiding difficult feelings and wants concrete steps to move forward.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills. CBT offers tools for anxiety, depression, and the focus and organization difficulties people with ADHD often bring to sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the day-to-day problems you want to change, and then suggest strategies that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs shift.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or parenting demands while keeping therapy consistent.
