About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, ADHD, and related challenges. Alicia also lists support for career questions, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and navigating life changes.
Alicia uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions include straightforward conversations about what is and isn’t working, and small experiments to test new reactions between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take meaningful steps, and Attachment-Based ideas when relationship patterns are a core issue. Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused methods shape how she listens and responds.
People meet to set goals, practice new skills, and track progress. Alicia encourages specific coping tools for sleep, anger, and stress, plus strategies to handle relationship or parenting conflicts. She notes strengths as well as difficulties to make change more practical.

How Alicia applies ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online
Alicia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches in a practical way. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood. ACT centers on clarifying what matters to the person and taking small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current reactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what the client reports. Sessions aim to teach specific skills and then check how those skills work in everyday life.
