About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.
Alisha uses a person-centered stance that centers the client's own perspective. She blends that approach with trauma-informed ideas that consider biological, psychological, and social factors. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people talk through painful memories, confusing emotions, and practical problems.
Her work often includes attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current responses. She also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice physical signals tied to stress and emotion. Jungian elements appear when exploring personal meaning, symbols, or recurring dreams that surface in sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward, respectful listening and opportunities to reflect on choices and patterns. The therapist helps people name where they feel stuck and tries out different ways of responding to old habits. Progress is approached in small steps rather than quick fixes.
Alisha sees concerns about body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and postpartum mood shifts among other issues. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the matching process provided on the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alisha draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings of safety and connection. That approach helps when trust, intimacy, or repeating relationship conflicts are the main concern.She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the client's experience. Sessions emphasize careful listening, reflection, and working from the person's own goals rather than imposing direction from the therapist.
Mindfulness techniques are also used to help people notice moment-to-moment thoughts and bodily sensations. These practices can support stress and anxiety management and make strong emotions feel more understandable rather than overwhelming.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean shifting strategies over time as issues become clearer.

Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to attend when travel would be hard.
