About Alicia

Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, ADHD, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Alicia writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people feeling overwhelmed.

She focuses on rebuilding self-esteem, improving communication, and developing practical coping skills. Sessions center on real-life goals like sleeping better, managing anger, handling life changes, and reducing compassion fatigue. Alicia says therapy is a team effort and works with each person to set clear, manageable steps.

Alicia uses methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and clarify values so daily life becomes less stressful. The approaches are described and chosen to fit each person, not as a one-size-fits-all plan.

She brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions and draws on that background to offer steady guidance. Alicia aims to create a space where people can speak honestly without judgment and practice new ways of coping between appointments.

People who want to begin work on relationship problems, parenting strain, identity and intimacy questions, or long-term stress can expect straightforward, supportive care. Alicia invites prospective clients to explore what they want to change and to set practical steps toward those goals.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify their values, and take small actions that fit those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape present reactions, which is useful for intimacy concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single technique.

Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles so therapy fits the practical demands of everyday life without promising particular services.
