About Alicia

Alicia Cooper is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with eight years of clinical experience, currently practicing in Colorado. She works with people facing relationship strain, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, anxiety, depression, addiction, and related challenges that affect daily life.

Alicia uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that come from their family of origin. She listens for recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on building clearer ways to communicate with others.

Her clinical work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods are used to help with stress, grief, mood concerns, and difficulties like codependency or commitment issues.

Clients may work on boundaries, shifting automatic responses, and repairing closeness where it has felt strained. Alicia pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people translate that understanding into concrete behavior changes. She also addresses identity and intimacy matters, including LGBT concerns and alternative sexual cultures.

Practical matters such as coping skills for ADHD, managing compassion fatigue, or navigating adoption and foster care topics are part of her caseload. People who choose to work with Alicia start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to see if the fit feels right.

How Alicia applies therapy methods online

Alicia commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that align with what matters. It can help when patterns from the past create avoidance or difficulty making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions, and it is useful for understanding recurring problems in closeness and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and make decisions together about which methods to use. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions match what a person needs at the moment rather than following a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different techniques over video or phone to teach skills, practice new ways of relating, and follow up on homework between meetings. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular service.
