About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She helps people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns such as codependency and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Alisha uses a person-centered way of working. That means sessions start with the client’s priorities and move at a pace they can manage. She blends attachment-focused ideas with mindfulness and somatic attention to what the body and relationships are telling someone. Therapy focuses on practical strategies as well as understanding patterns that keep repeating.
In sessions she will listen without judgment and help people name difficult feelings. That can look like mapping relationship patterns, noticing how stress shows up in the body, or practicing short grounding and mindfulness exercises. Conversations also include exploring family of origin issues, boundaries, and how codependent habits affect daily life.
Alisha draws on Jungian ideas to notice recurring themes and symbols that show up in relationships and personal struggles. She combines that with trauma-informed care to avoid overwhelm and to pace the work safely. The result is a mix of talking, reflection, and somatic noticing.
Practical steps are part of the work. Clients may practice setting limits, experiment with small changes in how they respond to others, or try coping techniques between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Alisha commonly blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and somatic awareness into her online work. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current behaviors. It can help when people keep repeating the same dynamics in partnerships or family relationships.Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood without pressure. That approach helps people clarify feelings, name needs, and decide what to try differently. Somatic awareness pays attention to bodily sensations and stress responses, offering concrete techniques to reduce overwhelm and notice how emotions show up physically.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alisha collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and pace. She checks in about what helps and adapts focus over time so work stays manageable and useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows exercises such as guided grounding or mindfulness practice to be done in everyday settings, which helps move skills from sessions into daily life.
