About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with eating issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
Alisha uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s experience central. She creates a calm space where people can talk without judgment and begin to understand their thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to help people feel heard and more grounded. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also brings in mindfulness and somatic practices to help clients notice body sensations and manage stress in the moment.
Jungian perspectives may be used to explore meaning, symbols, and deeper personal themes when that fits a client’s goals. Alabama is her licensed region and she offers care through a range of online formats. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.
International clients may be seen in English. People who are worn down by daily stress or stuck in painful relationship patterns often come to her for steady support. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.
Alisha aims to help people notice change, try new ways of relating, and find clearer direction in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Alisha often draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and behavior. This approach helps people identify patterns in how they connect and find new ways to feel more supported in close relationships.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and following the person’s lead. That style helps clients feel understood and supports them in exploring difficult feelings at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may combine approaches over time as needs change.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or travel.
