About Alisha
Alisha Dreiling is an Alabama-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of practice experience. She focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and family of origin issues. She also works with body image, eating concerns, ADHD, and caregiving strain.
Her approach centers on a client-centered framework that draws on attachment-based ideas and somatic awareness. Sessions usually involve listening carefully, reflecting what comes up, and helping people name patterns that began in childhood and still affect relationships now. She brings Jungian perspectives when helpful to look at recurring themes and meanings.
Alisha uses mindfulness and body-focused techniques to help people notice how thoughts and sensations connect. That can make it easier to step back from old automatic reactions and experiment with new ways of relating. Work may include practical coping strategies for anxiety, grief processing, or skill-building around intimacy and boundary-setting.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about hard topics and test new behavior between sessions. Conversations may explore how family roles, expectations, or attachment styles shape current choices and feelings. Discussions about parenting, fatherhood issues, or separation focus on concrete changes and next steps.
Clients should expect straightforward, conversational sessions that attend to feelings, patterns, and bodily experience. Alisha speaks English and accepts international clients. If you want to begin, use the site’s matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How attachment, mindfulness, and somatic work translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships that often begin in childhood. Online sessions can help identify those patterns, track how they show up now, and practice different responses in daily life. This approach is useful for people who notice recurring roles or expectations that affect intimacy and connection.Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment noticing of thoughts and feelings without judgment. In online sessions that can mean simple guided exercises to calm anxiety, ground during grief, or practice noticing triggers before reacting. These skills are often practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how they relate to emotions. Even in remote sessions, a therapist can guide breath, movement, or awareness exercises to help people recognize the physical side of stress or attachment responses and try small changes that shift feeling states.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will test methods and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single path at the start.

Many people find online work fits into busy days more easily, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to meet during breaks or from different locations. The practical benefit is fitting therapy into everyday life while working on attachment, mindfulness, and body-centered skills.
