About Alicia

Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on helping people regain a sense of control and reconnect with themselves after difficult life events. She approaches therapy with the conviction that no one is "broken" and that everyone deserves a joyful, satisfying life; when challenges interfere with that vision, she offers guidance and skills to move forward. Alicia works with individuals and couples to rebuild relationships, strengthen self-esteem, develop positive coping strategies, and address issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients' specific needs shape the work together. She believes in the value of counseling as a space to explore hardships and thoughts openly, and she tailors interventions to each person's circumstances. Clients can expect focused attention on the goals they bring to therapy, whether that means managing mood symptoms, improving communication in relationships, or navigating major life transitions.

Committed to empowering others, Alicia frames therapy as a team effort. She aims to support clients as they learn new skills, rebuild connections, and regain confidence so they can pursue the life they deserve.

Approaches for Online Counseling and Growth

Alicia Cunningham commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that align with what matters most. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problematic coping habits.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; this approach can support work on intimacy, family dynamics, and relationship repair. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to meet when and how it best fits into life. Sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, allowing clients to access ongoing support from home or elsewhere. This adaptability helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
