About Alicia

Alicia Cooper is an LCSW who brings eight years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work in Colorado. She centers Internal Family Systems as one of her guiding frameworks, helping clients explore internal parts and the relationships between them while integrating evidence-based strategies from ACT and CBT.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes collaborative exploration of strengths and practical skills to address present challenges. Alicia focuses on a broad range of concerns including relationship and family struggles, intimacy and parenting issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, and trauma and grief.

She also works with people dealing with addiction and co-occurring conditions, and attends to specific areas like attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, and communication or trust difficulties. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered principles to foster a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

Clients can expect support for life transitions, career questions, and compassion fatigue as well as attention to sexual and alternative culture concerns when relevant. Alicia’s approach combines insight-oriented work with concrete tools for coping and growth, guiding clients toward greater self-understanding and more effective patterns in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems encourages exploration of the many parts that make up a person, helping clients understand inner conflicts and develop compassionate relationships with those parts; this can be useful for trauma, attachment wounds, and complex emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, teaching practical skills that help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy illuminates how early relationships shape current patterns and supports creating healthier relational strategies and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alicia works collaboratively to determine which methods fit best with a client’s goals, history, and preferences. She integrates different techniques rather than applying a single formula, inviting clients to experiment and reflect so the work feels personally meaningful and oriented toward achievable change.

Online therapy with Alicia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic limitations. These formats make it possible to maintain momentum between sessions, practice skills in everyday contexts, and access care from wherever a client is located in Colorado.
