Alicia Cunningham

Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and helps them regain a sense of control. Her work focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address the effects of trauma and abuse.

Alicia uses clear, direct methods to help clients improve self-esteem and cope with life changes. She draws from approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to build everyday tools for managing emotions and behaviors. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.

Clients often talk through relationship concerns, grief, addictions, and issues that affect sleep and intimacy. Alicia also supports people facing parenting strain, career transitions, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and attachment struggles.

Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She helps clients practice new skills in session and apply them between meetings. The focus is on small, achievable steps that add up over time.

To begin, clients follow a simple intake process through the site and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire before booking so their needs and goals can be aligned with the therapeutic approach.

How Alicia’s approaches translate to online work

Alicia draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past traumatic events, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values, accept tough emotions, and take committed steps toward meaningful change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop healthier ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Alicia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new concerns arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or family schedules. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skill practice that can be done between sessions, which often helps with steady progress when meeting remotely.
