About Alicia
Alicia Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and related concerns. Alicia also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting stress, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures or jargon.
How Alicia works
Alicia works side by side with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. Alicia uses several approaches depending on the need. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others. Acceptance and commitment tools help people live by their values even when life is hard. Over ten years in practice gives her experience with a wide range of life challenges.
She tailors methods to each situation instead of applying one fixed plan. Expect an approach that mixes listening, skill-building, practical exercises, and honest feedback. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and then take small actions that match their values. It can help when worry, low mood, or life changes get in the way of living the way someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and breaks problems into manageable steps; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people improve communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods are used and how they are mixed across sessions.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth is needed or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing tracking, short reflections between sessions, or a way to process things that come up outside scheduled meetings. These options help make consistent care fit into busy lives.
