About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling, LPC, helps people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and anxiety. She focuses on issues like intimacy, self-esteem, depression, and stress. Her approach aims to create a calm place to talk honestly about what’s hard right now.
She uses a person-centered way of working that keeps the client's experience at the center of sessions. That means conversations follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Alisha blends that stance with trauma-informed ideas and attention to how body, mind, and environment interact. In sessions she listens actively and reflects what she hears so people can better see their own thoughts and feelings. She offers practical tools and gentle challenges when useful, and she helps people notice patterns that get in the way of change.
Much of the work involves slowing down to recognize how past attachments shape present relationships. Alisha draws on mindfulness and somatic awareness to help clients regain calm and find new ways to respond to stress. Jungian ideas about meaning and personal symbols sometimes guide deeper exploration of identity and purpose.
Her style is steady, respectful, and focused on real-life outcomes. She practices in Alabama and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. People who want help with caregiving stress, postpartum struggles, body image, ADHD-related concerns, or family-of-origin issues often seek her perspective.
Conversations are straightforward and geared toward workable next steps.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Alisha often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. That work helps when intimacy, trust, or repetitive relationship problems are central concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's own experience and leads conversations by what matters most to the person in the session.She blends mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and emotional reactions in the moment, and somatic techniques to bring attention to bodily signals that accompany difficult feelings. These methods can support recovery from trauma, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for brief reflections. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
