About Alicia

Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical skills with mindful awareness to help people find steadier ground. She offers calm, straightforward guidance for relationship strain, parenting worries, anxiety, depression, and many other life stressors. Alicia writes simple plans with clients and focuses on what will help today and tomorrow.

With eight years in mental health, Alicia has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with body image, attachment-related concerns, blended family stress, and communication or commitment issues. Her background includes helping people untangle complicated losses like abandonment and adoption questions.

Alicia draws on mindfulness practices alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to build awareness and stronger bonds. She pairs those with client-centered listening and clear Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when people want concrete steps to change patterns. Sessions tend to balance present-moment noticing with practical skill-building.

In therapy people can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist helps them notice unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes. Alicia emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals and she offers tools and feedback aimed at real-life problems like parenting strain or work stress.

To begin, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and are provided by a licensed clinician based in Colorado.

How mindfulness and ACT shape online work

Alicia often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and make everyday choices clearer. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients identify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions feel difficult.

The therapist treats approach selection as a team effort. Early sessions focus on what the person wants to change and what feels most useful. Together they try different tools and adjust the plan based on what helps the client meet goals and fit into daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to attend regularly, fit appointments around work or parenting, and use shorter check-ins on busy days. Some people find video sessions let them practice skills in the moment, while phone check-ins can be simpler when bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework so therapy fits within a client's everyday schedule rather than creating extra burden.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
