Alisha Dreiling, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About Alisha

Alisha Dreiling is a licensed professional counselor who supports people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, eating concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Alisha aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

Her style centers on listening closely and meeting people where they are. Alisha uses a person-centered foundation in her work.

Background and approach

That means she focuses on the client's experience and priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current struggles. Her training includes elements of Jungian thought, which can help surface recurring themes and personal symbols.

Mindfulness practices are woven in to teach grounding skills for anxiety and stress. Somatic techniques may be used to notice how emotions show up in the body. With eight years of experience, Alisha brings steady, practical support without judgment.

She encourages exploration of thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable. Parents and adults who are navigating relationship or life shifts often find this approach helpful. Alisha is licensed to practice in Alabama as an LPC.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients via remote session formats when appropriate. She emphasizes collaboration, helping each person shape goals suited to their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Alisha blends attachment-based work with client-centered listening to help people notice and change recurring relationship patterns. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past and present bonds influence current interactions, which can be useful for intimacy issues and family-related concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client sets the pace and direction of the work.

She also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas to help manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to stay present and reduce overwhelm. Somatic techniques invite attention to bodily sensations so emotions can be recognized and regulated more easily.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process lets clients try things at a comfortable pace and adjust as they learn what helps.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. These options let people connect from home or during breaks in a busy day, and they support ongoing work even when life gets in the way. Many clients find that remote formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
