Alisha Dreiling , LPC

Alisha Dreiling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and related life changes. She offers calm, direct support for eating and body image worries, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm and person-centered. Sessions focus on listening first and creating a space where people can speak honestly. Alisha emphasizes understanding how past attachments shape current patterns and how the body stores stress.

She blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and elements of Jungian and somatic work. That means conversations about relationship patterns are paired with attention to bodily sensations and symbolic meaning. Mindfulness practices are used to help people feel steadier between sessions.

Alisha draws on eight years of clinical experience working with adults on issues such as codependency, domestic violence, fertility and postpartum concerns, and complicated family dynamics. Her approach aims to reduce shame and increase agency in daily life.

People can expect a practical, paced process that names patterns, practices new ways of relating, and checks in about what’s helpful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Alisha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alisha often draws on attachment-based ideas to help clients understand relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections. That work looks at repeated ways people relate and explores new options for feeling safer in relationships.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and meeting each person where they are. This approach focuses on being heard and respected, and it helps clients gain clarity about their goals. Somatic work is used alongside talking to notice bodily responses to stress and to learn grounding or regulation strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when a lower-bandwidth option is needed or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection between appointments and can be used for shorter updates or coping reminders. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
