About Alicia

Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem challenges.

Alicia helps people who are coping with big life changes and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and body image. Her practice includes work with people affected by chronic illness or pain, codependency, commitment and control problems, and a range of personality-related difficulties.

Her clinical approach draws on attachment-based methods, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she focuses on practical strategies people can use between meetings. She aims to help clients identify patterns that get in the way and then try different ways of responding.

Alicia favors a collaborative style. She and the client set goals together and adjust plans as progress or life changes occur. Sessions typically mix skill practice, reflective conversation, and planning for real-world situations.

She offers her services in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. People should confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are available.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect and trust others. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns in close relationships and practice different ways of relating in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions clients learn practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, change small behaviors, and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between meetings to handle intense moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That means approaches can be blended to match the person's needs and preferences rather than picked in advance.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time for appointments. Discussing goals and daily routines helps shape the session length, frequency, and focus so the work fits real life.
