About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people address stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, intimacy and many other life challenges.
Background and approach
With ten years of clinical experience, she approaches concerns such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, relationship and parenting struggles, and sleep difficulties with practical skills and compassionate support. Alicia emphasizes that seeking help is a step toward reclaiming a more satisfying life rather than a sign of being broken.
Her style centers on collaboration and empowerment, creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and develop healthier patterns. She blends evidence-based methods including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Practical coping strategies, emotional processing, and attention to relational patterns are part of her toolkit. Clients work with Alicia to set goals, build resilience, and practice new ways of relating to their thoughts and feelings.
She offers sessions in multiple online formats and guides people through steps to begin therapy, helping them find approaches that fit their values and daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Online work with Alicia draws on Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work to address emotional and relational patterns. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different inner parts with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for trauma responses, self-criticism, and conflicted feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while building meaningful habits that support daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current ways of connecting and responding, helping clients build more supported ways of relating to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, experimenting with techniques and adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the work fits both the problem and the individual’s style.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from Missouri without traveling to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to online formats so clients can learn coping skills, process feelings, and practice new behaviors in ways that align with everyday life.
