Alisha Dreiling

Alisha Dreiling is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on honest conversation about feelings, thoughts, and everyday struggles in straightforward terms.

Alisha uses a client-centered stance that helps people feel understood and heard. She blends attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Jungian perspectives into sessions when useful. That means conversations may include paying attention to bodily responses, noticing recurring relationship patterns, and reflecting on inner images or dreams.

In practice she leans toward gentle, direct listening. People can expect to name what feels heavy, try small experiments between sessions, and develop clearer ways to handle stress and relationship conflict. The work is practical and reflective rather than prescriptive.

Alisha also brings a trauma-informed biopsychosocial lens to therapy. This frames emotional and behavioral struggles as connected to body responses, personal history, and social context. It helps when addressing complex problems like grief, caregiving strain, codependency, or recovery after abuse.

Clients who are curious about patterns of attachment, avoidant behavior, or issues around body image and self-esteem may find her approach relevant. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Alisha combines attachment-based and client-centered ideas with mindfulness and somatic awareness during sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the client's perspective, using attentive listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them.

Mindfulness and somatic elements bring attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals. Mindfulness practices can help with anxiety, stress, and rumination by teaching simple noticing skills. Somatic awareness involves tracking tension, breath, or other body responses to better understand how emotions show up physically.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels useful, and adjust approaches based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Many people find that video or phone sessions help them maintain regular contact and work through relationship, grief, or stress-related concerns without rearranging a full day.
