Alisha Dreiling, LPC

Alisha Dreiling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with eight years of professional experience. As an LPC, she holds a credential that authorizes her to provide counseling services within the state. Her work focuses on helping people navigate relationship challenges, recover from trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and address intimacy-related concerns.

She practices from a person-centered framework that is informed by trauma-aware, biopsychosocial thinking. This means she attends to the whole person - including psychological, social, and biological factors - while prioritizing the client as the expert in their own life. Her style aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to make sense of painful experiences.

Alisha’s primary goal is to offer a place where clients can show up as their authentic selves without fear of shame or expectation. She echoes the spirit of Carl Rogers’ observations about the power of being truly heard - when someone listens without judgment, confusions can become clearer and seemingly insoluble problems can start to feel manageable.

Attachment and Mindfulness-Based Care Online

Alisha integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection needs. This approach helps clients who struggle with trust, intimacy, or recurring relationship conflicts better understand their attachment styles and build healthier bonds.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, supports self-exploration, and helps clients identify personal goals and solutions in their own voice.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered as an additional tool to help clients notice thoughts and bodily sensations with gentle awareness, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and grounding after traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alisha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Alisha is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from where clients are most comfortable, and fit sessions into busy or changing routines.
