About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham, LPC, helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life changes. She focuses on restoring a sense of control and rebuilding a satisfying life after difficult events, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and finding practical ways to move forward.
Alicia spends sessions listening without judgment and then working together to set clear, achievable goals. She draws on straightforward methods from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and emotion-focused techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep.
Over a decade in practice, Alicia has supported people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, addictive behaviors, and identity concerns. She also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and challenges tied to adoption and caregiving. Her background in client-centered and attachment-based ways of working informs a calm, responsive style.
People meet Alicia for hands-on coping strategies as well as for chances to reflect on values and priorities. She encourages small, steady steps and ongoing teamwork rather than quick fixes. The work includes practice assignments, moments of reflection, and adjustments based on what helps most.
To begin, clients complete a short intake so sessions can focus on the most pressing concerns. Alicia practices in Missouri and offers services in English. If you want to explore next steps, she guides people through matching and scheduling so therapy fits everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes after a traumatic event.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors together so you can try different actions and see what changes. CBT is often useful for sleep problems, anger, addictive behaviors, and managing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the plan as goals and needs become clearer. The process is interactive and paced to what feels doable for the individual.
