About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people through relationship and parenting challenges. She combines practical tools with a warm, straightforward style so parents and individuals can make steady progress. Alicia practices from Colorado and uses everyday language to make sessions feel usable from week to week.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters, shift unhelpful thoughts, and choose actions that fit their values.
Background and approach
Attachment-Based therapy informs how she looks at closeness and trust, especially when old patterns get in the way of better connection. Sessions often involve learning small skills, trying new communication moves, and making plans that fit real life.
Alicia has eight years of experience in the mental health field and holds the LCSW credential, with licensure that includes Arizona and Oregon among other states. That background supports work on anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, and the stress that comes with parenting roles. She also helps people address ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related strain.
Her practice covers a wide range of relationship and identity concerns including LGBT matters, intimacy issues, and communication problems. She offers help for difficult transitions such as divorce, adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, and recovery from substance use challenges. Therapy focuses on practical steps and steady change rather than quick fixes.
Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens first, then suggests experiments to try between sessions. The goal is clearer communication, more reliable routines, and better emotional balance that fits each person's life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values. ACT often involves short exercises and behavioral experiments that fit well into video or text check-ins.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT offers concrete tools for mood, anxiety, and parenting stress that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over phone or video calls.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend a mix of techniques. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people practice conversations and see nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or movement is needed, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
