About Alicia

Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri who supports people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and more.

Background and approach

She brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance and emphasizes that seeking help is a strength, not a sign of being broken. With ten years of clinical experience, Alicia focuses on helping clients regain a sense of control, rebuild self-esteem, and develop sustainable coping skills.

Her work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Alicia aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore difficult emotions, address communication and relationship patterns, and navigate life transitions.

She offers practical strategies alongside empathic listening so clients can move toward meaningful, achievable goals. People seeking help will find a therapist who values teamwork and individualized care.

Alicia invites clients to take an active role in therapy, working together to identify priorities and build healthier ways of coping with stressors from parenting and caregiving to career pressures and identity-related concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Alicia frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, develop psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or mood concerns. Both approaches are practical and goal-oriented while remaining sensitive to each person's experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Alicia frames treatment as a collaborative process. She will discuss how different methods might fit the client's needs and preferences, adjust strategies over time, and invite feedback so therapy remains aligned with evolving goals.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Missouri and accommodate people who benefit from remote options while pursuing improvements in relationships, coping skills, ADHD-related challenges, grief, or life transitions.
