Alicia Cooper, LCSW

Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people through relationship and intimacy concerns. She works with individuals on issues like parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Alicia also supports clients dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

Alicia draws on straightforward, collaborative work with each person. She treats therapy as a team effort and helps people notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as the conversations that help make sense of painful patterns.

Her background includes a range of clinical settings where she addressed complex challenges such as co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. That experience informs how she helps people manage mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and the effects of trauma and loss. She also addresses specific topics like attachment difficulties, body image, and intimacy-related concerns including kink and alternative sex culture.

Alicia uses several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. She frequently draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. The goal is to create realistic, doable changes that fit a person’s life and values.

To start, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Alicia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where choosing meaningful actions matters.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust. This work can help with intimacy problems, communication issues, and fears of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alicia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest techniques that fit those needs. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, make it easier to keep routine check-ins, or choose a quieter setup when they need it. Online work also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life contexts and to bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
