Alicia Cooper, LCSW

Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate hard moments. She uses clear, goal-focused strategies to address anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. Alicia speaks plainly and works with clients to find sensible steps they can use between sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her work when people need help clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at patterns that started in early relationships and still affect current connections.

With eight years of experience, Alicia has supported people through grief, trauma and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also helps clients facing addiction, bipolar mood shifts, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges like ADHD and body image concerns. Her background includes work across several states and varied clinical settings.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Alicia listens first, then helps set clear, practical goals. She prioritizes steps that can be practiced day to day so progress feels tangible and manageable.

To begin, she asks people to name the concerns that matter most and what a realistic next step would look like. From there she and the client build a plan that reflects personal values, current life demands, and measurable goals.

How Alicia's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework that translate well to video or messaging formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage committed action even when feelings are difficult; that work can involve simple value-based tasks people practice between contacts. Attachment-Based Therapy helps examine how early relationship patterns influence current connections, and this perspective guides conversations about communication and boundaries.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and everyday life. She explains options, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the work matches the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support in brief moments during the week and to track progress in writing. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, and other commitments while using the therapeutic approaches that best support their goals.
