About Alicia

Alicia Collins Wong is a licensed professional clinical counselor who practices in Ohio. She brings nine years of experience in mental health work and focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, and related concerns. Alicia aims to meet people where they are and build realistic plans that fit everyday life.

She keeps sessions straightforward and adaptable. Alicia listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Techniques come from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, used in ways that suit each person. Sessions typically include talking about current problems, trying a few tools in the moment, and checking what works. Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas are woven in when they help with relationships or emotion regulation.

She explains strategies in plain language and practices them together with clients so they can use them at home. Alicia also brings experience with issues around identity, intimacy, parenting concerns, and grief. She addresses additional topics like adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems when relevant.

Her style is steady, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace. People who want a collaborative, no-nonsense clinician who adapts therapy to real life may find this approach helpful. The work focuses on building trust, developing skills, and making changes that last.

How Alicia's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and short-term skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and adjusts strategies to match each person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. She checks in regularly and adapts plans based on what is working and what needs changing.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to practice skills in real time between meetings. The range of options helps clients pick whatever mode of contact fits their routine and comfort level while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
