Alicia Cooper, LCSW
Somatic-informed therapist focused on relationships and resilience
About Alicia
Alicia Cooper is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on somatic-informed therapy and practical strategies for everyday life. She brings eight years of experience helping people untangle relationship stress, manage mood shifts, and cope with life changes. Her style is grounded and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel usable and clear.
She often helps people working through anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and career stress.
Background and approach
LGBT concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are among the areas she addresses. In sessions Alicia blends body-aware techniques with evidence-based talking therapies. That can mean noticing how tension shows up physically, then pairing that awareness with skills like behavior change or emotion regulation.
The focus is on small, concrete steps that can change daily patterns. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside somatic work. Conversations center on what matters most to the person and what actions they can try between sessions.
The aim is to build coping tools that fit real life. Alicia holds an LCSW and practices in Colorado. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and works with people who want a collaborative, practical path forward.
How somatic and talk therapies work online
Alicia uses somatic-focused methods to bring attention to how stress and emotions show up in the body. This approach helps people notice physical tension, breathing patterns, or sensations and connect those signals to feelings and behaviors. It can be useful for managing anxiety, trauma reactions, and chronic stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and to build more supported ways of connecting. Both approaches support work on relationship, intimacy, and communication issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - allow flexible access from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and to use different modes for check-ins, skill practice, or deeper sessions.
