About Aubrey
Aubrey Long is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana. She brings three years of clinical experience working with people who face depression, anxiety, substance and behavioral addictions, chronic pain and illness, and other life stressors. Aubrey also supports people with parenting and family concerns and has experience related to adoption, foster care, and child welfare involvement.
Her approach is direct and practical. She listens first, then helps identify doable steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in real moments - talk about what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and small changes to try between visits. Aubrey draws from several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques to tailor work to each person.
She aims to blend skills training with values-based choices so progress feels relevant to daily life. In a first session she asks about current symptoms and what matters most to the client. Together they set clear goals and a plan to test changes.
Aubrey keeps a warm tone and sometimes uses humor to shift perspective when it helps. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Aubrey works under her Indiana LCSW credential, IN LCSW 34012167A.
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters most. It teaches simple practices to move toward chosen values even when feelings get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and mood problems going. It uses clear skill practice and small experiments to test what works. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools for people who struggle with intense feelings and relationship challenges.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match approaches to the client's goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and adjust methods so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, try short check-ins between meetings, or use different formats for skills practice. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core methods used in person while making access simpler for people managing parenting, work, or health challenges.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
