About Alicia

LPC in Alabama with 8 years of experience, Alicia Long helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, emotionally-focused, and mindfulness approaches to guide sessions. Alicia emphasizes practical, conversational work that focuses on immediate concerns and coping skills.

Alicia favors clear, direct conversation in sessions. She listens for what’s most pressing and then helps the person try small, doable changes. That can mean practicing a skill in session, trying a behavior between sessions, or mapping out steps to reduce stress and manage mood.

Her style draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s goals central. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior tools offer concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns and mindfulness practices to slow down and notice moment-to-moment experience. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what the person wants to change now.

Alicia’s approach suits people who want clear skills and straightforward conversation rather than long, theoretical discussion. She helps break larger goals into small steps and checks progress along the way. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy keeps the person’s goals at the center and focuses on listening and reflecting. In an online session that means the therapist asks about priorities, checks understanding, and adapts approaches to what the person wants to work on right now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and assigning short between-session exercises to practice new habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and crises. In a remote format this often looks like teaching and practicing breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance techniques alongside skills for improving emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs shift.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and enable practicing skills in real-life settings between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so the work remains practical and goal oriented.
