About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use in daily life.
Alicia describes counseling as a collaborative process. She helps people rebuild self-esteem and develop coping skills. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current reactions.
Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods shape how she works in the room. That means attention to feelings, and a focus on the person’s perspective and priorities during sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills are offered to help with distressing emotions and moving toward valued action.
Practical tools and short-term skills are combined with deeper exploration when it fits the person’s goals. Alicia encourages straightforward conversations about habits, triggers, and what gets in the way of change. She asks clients to try small experiments between sessions and review what works.

How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Alicia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anger that comes from automatic thinking or stressful situations. ACT teaches noticing difficult emotions and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can reduce getting stuck in reactive patterns.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current responses. That approach helps when repeated relationship dynamics fuel frustration or repeated conflict. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on goals and what feels most useful in practice.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. Alicia will review what you want to change, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to follow up quickly on skills learned between meetings. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Practical benefits often include shorter commutes, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and using different tools such as focused skill practice or emotion-checking between visits.
