About Alicia

Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship work using practical, proven methods. She emphasizes clear communication, emotional connection, and everyday tools families and individuals can use at home.

Background and approach

Alicia keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people leave with concrete next steps. Alicia draws on eight years of experience to guide people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, and intimacy questions.

She also helps with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and substance use issues. Her work supports people coping with grief, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions center on collaboration and real-world strategies. Alicia uses approaches that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and practice better communication.

She helps clients set small, manageable goals and build on them over time. Her clinical toolkit includes methods that focus on emotional connection and present-moment choices.

Alicia aims to meet each person where they are, listening first and then suggesting steps that fit daily life. She uses plain language and concrete exercises so progress feels visible.

People can expect a steady, compassionate presence during difficult moments and practical direction when plans are needed. Alicia is licensed as an LCSW in Arizona and Oregon and sees clients from Colorado.

She provides sessions in English and offers multiple remote formats to fit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Alicia combines Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to focus on connection and meaningful action. The Gottman-informed work centers on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and strengthening emotional bonds. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationship patterns shape current connections. That approach helps people identify recurring interaction styles and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more predictable. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Alicia collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and longer sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines while still doing focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
