Alicia Collins Wong , LPCC

Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and a range of related concerns. Alicia aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for anyone who feels overwhelmed. Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens for what matters most and tailors each session to a person's needs and goals. Sessions include clear tools people can use between appointments, such as grounding skills for anxiety or step-by-step plans for coping with strong emotions. Alicia uses several well-established approaches. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation skills. She also supports people facing issues like relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep problems, and substance-related worries. Additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness and disability, adoption and foster care questions, and kink-aware care for consenting adults. Work with Alicia is grounded in collaboration. She helps each person set clear goals and reviews progress regularly. People who prefer straightforward language, practical strategies, and a respectful, nonjudgmental space tend to find her approach a good fit.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Alicia uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships affect current patterns. This can be useful for working through trust issues, communication problems, and attachment-related anxiety.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for building concrete coping plans.

Finding the right approach is something Alicia treats as a team effort. She will work with clients to choose which strategies to try first, then check in and adjust plans based on how things are going and what goals matter most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is a concern. Chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule around work, parenting, or mobility limitations.
