About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who centers narrative work in therapy. She takes a conversational, person-focused approach to help people untangle relationship and intimacy struggles. Alicia aims to make therapy a clear, manageable next step for someone feeling stuck.
She has eight years of experience supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Alicia also helps with parenting stress, grief, career transitions, and concerns around ADHD or substance use.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with attachment, abandonment, and blended family challenges. Sessions are practical and rooted in the stories people bring. Alicia uses narrative ideas to examine how life events and roles shape beliefs about the self.
She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies to build new ways of coping and taking action. Her style is warm and collaborative. She encourages people to notice strengths already at work and to test small changes between sessions.
Conversations often focus on improving communication, setting boundaries, and reducing overwhelming stress. Alicia is licensed as an LCSW in Arizona and Oregon and practices from Colorado. She offers a range of remote session types, which can fit different schedules and needs.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapies work online
Alicia draws on Narrative Therapy to help people see how the stories they tell shape their choices. Narrative work looks for patterns in those stories and opens space to try alternate ways of seeing problems and strengths. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, complements this by focusing on values and small committed actions that lead toward a life people care about.These approaches are explored together with a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit the person's needs. Finding the right mix of methods is part of your work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation for deeper processing. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or choose a written way to reflect. These options give more flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and changing schedules.
