About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns. She aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and work through painful experiences. She focuses on practical, person-centered care.
Sessions start with listening. Then she helps people name feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that fit their lives. Therapy is not a lecture but a conversation where the client sets the pace.
Background and approach
Alisha brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. That background includes supporting people after trauma and abuse, navigating intimacy issues, and coping with life changes like separation or loss. She also addresses eating concerns, self-esteem, and caregiver stress.
Her approach draws on attachment work, mindfulness, somatic methods, and Jungian ideas alongside client-centered principles. In practice this means attention to relationships, bodily responses, inner stories, and the real-world steps a person can take between sessions. Sessions balance reflection with concrete skills.
People often come to her worried about recurring patterns, emotional overwhelm, or difficulties connecting with others. She works collaboratively to build coping strategies, strengthen emotional awareness, and restore a sense of direction. Therapy aims to be steady, clear, and focused on what matters most to each person.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help people identify repeated patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on deep listening and acceptance so the client leads the pace; through video or text a therapist follows the client's concerns and helps them clarify values and choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple exercises to reduce reactivity; it can be practiced across formats and used between sessions to manage anxiety and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try different methods to find what fits. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as goals shift.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text allow short check-ins, journaling-like reflection, or ongoing support when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent while matching the format to practical needs.
