About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is an LPC licensed in Alabama with eight years of professional experience. She works with young adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with life transitions. Her practice also addresses ADHD, eating and body image concerns, and parenting-related strain that affects early adulthood.
She uses a person-centered approach that centers the client's experience and choices. Sessions are conversational and focused on listening first. This gives room to name feelings and sort out what matters right now.
Alisha blends attachment-based thinking with mindfulness and somatic attention. That means looking at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions, using awareness exercises to calm the nervous system, and noticing bodily signals tied to emotion. Jungian ideas may be used to reflect on themes and personal meaning.
In practical terms she helps people talk through relationship patterns, set boundaries, and manage overwhelming memories or grief. She also supports those navigating parenting stress, fertility and postpartum concerns, and codependency or control issues. Work can include pacing exposure to hard material and building day-to-day coping skills.
Alisha aims to collaborate on goals and next steps rather than prescribe a single solution. She encourages small experiments between sessions and continued reflection on what works. This approach is intended to help clients make clearer choices about relationships, work, and wellbeing.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own choices; online meetings follow this same conversational, client-led pace to prioritize what matters to the person in the room.Mindfulness and Somatic elements are used to bring attention to bodily signals and grounding practices. These tools help with anxiety, trauma symptoms, and stress by teaching simple awareness and regulation exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That exploration may shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and somatic prompts to the online setting so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
