About Alicia
Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on helping people who face anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and stress find steadier ground. Her work is straightforward and practical, aimed at making daily life more manageable for people under strain.
She uses clear conversations to identify what feels most urgent and then builds simple goals to address those areas.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize learning skills and testing small changes that reduce symptoms and improve coping. Alicia adapts her pace to each person and adjusts tools as progress unfolds. Her clinical approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they shape stress.
She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person's values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools show up in sessions when people need concrete strategies for thoughts, emotions, or behavior. Alicia has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses complex areas like body image, chronic illness, adoption-related loss, and identity questions within LGBT experiences. People who choose her often want a collaborative, down-to-earth clinician who offers both practical skills and space to talk. The emphasis is on usable tools, steady support, and gradual change rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches guide online care
Alicia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. This helps people who notice repeating conflicts or fears about closeness. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the focus on the person's goals and values and lets the conversation shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when practical strategies are needed to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try out techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. Together the client and therapist decide which mix of strategies best fits the person’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text can be useful for quick check-ins, tracking skills practice, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel commitments.
