About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and codependency. Her practice also addresses concerns such as parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and career-related strain.
Alicia uses clear, practical conversation to help people reconnect with themselves. She listens for what matters most and helps identify concrete steps to regain control. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving self-regard, and making changes that feel manageable in daily life.
Her background includes several therapeutic approaches. Alicia draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and offers mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to reduce avoidance and increase values-driven action. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how past relationships affect present behavior.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and short-term goals alongside deeper relational work. People can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and skill-building between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She practices in Missouri and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment follows a subscription structure that can be canceled at any time and varies with location.
How sessions work
How Alicia’s approaches translate to online work
Alicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. CBT looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful behaviors and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to understand how early relationship patterns shape current behavior. That work helps when people struggle with closeness, trust, or repeating old dynamics in relationships. Alicia treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which approach fits their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many clients find online sessions helpful because they fit into a day more easily, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Alicia uses conversation, guided exercises, and between-session practice in her therapeutic work, which can be adapted to remote sessions depending on the agreed format and the client's goals.
