About Alicia

Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people navigate complex life challenges.

Background and approach

She integrates cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance and commitment techniques to create practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the daily impacts of trauma and grief. Alicia emphasizes a collaborative process that highlights each person's strengths while addressing patterns that interfere with relationships and well-being.

Her work includes focused support for relationship and intimacy-related concerns, family and parenting difficulties, and issues connected to identity and LGBT experiences. Alicia also assists clients facing addiction and substance use, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and career or life transition stressors.

Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, and communication challenges. Based in Colorado and licensed to practice in multiple states, she offers a compassionate, client-centered stance that values the client as expert on their own life.

Sessions aim to build concrete skills, strengthen coping, and foster resilience so clients can move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Alicia uses CBT techniques to develop practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her toolkit, focusing on values-driven action and building psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relational patterns influence current connections and communication, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Alicia approaches treatment collaboratively, discussing with each client which methods fit their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online practice emphasizes flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while using evidence-informed approaches, and they allow clients to choose the way of communicating that best supports their comfort and needs.
