About Alicia
Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of clinical experience supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with people coping with ADHD, addictions, relationship strains, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Her background includes work with attachment issues and a range of personality and developmental concerns, such as avoidant and antisocial personality patterns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and adoption and foster care matters. She also attends to less common areas like BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, body image, chronic pain or illness, and co-morbidity presentations. Alicia draws on several practical therapy methods to address these problems.
Alicia’s style centers on collaboration. She uses client-centered principles to listen first and shape goals with each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are offered when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
She helps clients work through communication, control, and commitment issues, and supports those managing life changes or recovery from abuse. For people parenting under stress, she provides straightforward strategies to reduce conflict and build steadier routines.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Alicia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as two key approaches. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. DBT provides practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect present interactions and parenting responses. These perspectives help when communication, trust, and intimacy issues are part of the problem. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative step. Alicia works with each person to decide which approaches match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than starting with one fixed method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people find remote appointments helpful for shorter check-ins, scheduling around work or childcare, and reducing travel time. The therapist and client can adjust pacing and tools over time so sessions work with everyday responsibilities rather than add to them.Areas of focus
