About Alicia

Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and struggles around relationships and intimacy. She also helps people dealing with codependency, addictions, parenting strain, and life changes.

She focuses on practical tools you can use between sessions. That includes skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and elements from dialectical behavior work. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.

Alicia keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She reviews what’s working and what isn’t, and she adjusts plans as needed. Sessions often include behavioral experiments, communication practice, and emotion regulation techniques.

Clients who come in feeling stuck around people-pleasing or boundary trouble will find concrete strategies for saying no, handling guilt, and protecting time and energy. For those coping with trauma or addiction, she blends skills work with attention to relationship patterns that maintain problems.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set clear, measurable goals and tracks progress together. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. CBT sessions focus on clear steps and practice tasks that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety or shift routines.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are practical to learn in conversation and through short exercises you can use in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. Discuss scheduling and technical needs during the matching questionnaire and first appointment to find an arrangement that works.
