About Alisha

Alisha Dreiling, LPC helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those managing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Her work includes attention to ADHD, parenting challenges, and issues connected to family dynamics and narcissism.

She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening without judgment. Sessions aim to give people space to speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. The goal is to help clients notice new perspectives and clearer next steps.

Alisha blends attachment-based ideas with somatic and mindfulness practices. That means she pays attention to how relationships, body sensations, and present-moment awareness affect healing. Jungian ideas about meaning and personal stories also inform her work when useful to a person.

Her style is practical and steady. She helps people name patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy sessions emphasize real-life coping tools alongside understanding emotional roots.

Alisha holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Alabama and brings eight years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People who want to explore the next step complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How attachment, mindfulness, and body-focused work translate online

Alisha draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Attachment-based work helps people notice patterns in closeness and safety and practice new ways of relating that reduce repeating old hurts.

She also uses mindfulness approaches to help people notice thoughts and body sensations in the moment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and offer tools for managing anxiety and stress.

Somatic work is part of her approach when bodily sensations matter to the issue at hand. This means paying attention to physical reactions, learning gentle ways to reduce tension, and using the body as information during healing from trauma or overwhelm.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time. Collaboration helps ensure the work feels useful and realistic for everyday life.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be better for short updates or for people who prefer not to be on video, while others allow longer, deeper work; confirm which formats are offered when you schedule.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
