About Alicia

Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and sleep difficulties. Alicia uses straightforward support and practical steps so clients can start making changes right away.

Her style is flexible and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. Sessions often center on clear skills, problem-solving, and habits that affect daily functioning like sleep and routine.

Alicia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s goals. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.

In sessions she may teach mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity. The emphasis is on small, repeatable practices clients can use between appointments to feel steadier over time.

People who reach out usually want clear tools and an empathetic listener. Alicia aims to make therapy practical, approachable, and tailored. To begin, prospective clients use the platform’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching questionnaire and scheduling steps.

How Alicia’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions, and online sessions can use conversations and exercises to pinpoint patterns and build new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical exercises and behavior experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation and goals, and may adjust them over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many clients appreciate online work because it can be easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. The therapist will discuss scheduling, session length, and how to structure work so it fits daily life rather than promising any specific service format.
