About Aleia

Aleia Van Dyke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a range of life challenges. She creates a respectful, non-judgmental environment where people can explore identity, deepen self-acceptance, and develop practical skills to manage difficult emotions. Aleia partners with clients to set meaningful goals, increase self-awareness, and build tools that fit everyday life. Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family dynamics, and issues related to identity and sexuality.

Aleia has worked extensively with complex mental health needs and trauma, including postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and self-harm. She also supports people navigating attachment concerns, family of origin patterns, jealousy, personality-related difficulties, phobias, and non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships. With experience in areas such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and the effects of sexual assault and abuse, she offers informed, compassionate care tailored to each person’s history and goals. Aleia welcomes clients seeking an affirming space to explore who they are and to develop strategies for healthier relationships and improved wellbeing. Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered with empathy and practical focus.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Aleia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She uses trauma-informed approaches that help people process past traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact, offering practical coping strategies and pacing that honor individual readiness. She also focuses on attachment-informed work to explore relationship patterns, improve connection, and address family of origin concerns that influence current relationships. Additionally, Aleia incorporates skills-focused methods that teach concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation, as well as strategies for communication and parenting.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Aleia works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She reviews goals, preferences, and life context with each person and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and goal-oriented.



Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, coordinate care around family and work obligations, and maintain continuity when life is busy or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can deliver effective care through these channels while working with clients to set realistic goals and track progress.
