About Alicia
Alicia Collins Wong is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience in mental health. She focuses on practical approaches that help people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and mood concerns. Alicia aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for those who feel overwhelmed by daily life.
She uses simple, collaborative methods rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions usually involve close listening, goal setting, and skills practice that people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Alicia emphasizes building trust so clients feel able to talk about hard topics like trauma, grief, or relationship strain. Alicia draws from therapies that teach concrete tools. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice emotional regulation, and strengthen important relationships.
Those who struggle with sleep, addiction issues, or self-esteem often work on routines and small behavior changes. People facing parenting strain, compassion fatigue, or life transitions get short-term strategies and longer-term planning. Alicia also supports those navigating identity and intimacy concerns, including LGBT topics and alternative sexual cultures.
She pays attention to how attachment and past losses affect present choices. In sessions, clients can expect a respectful, steady tone and a focus on doable steps. Alicia balances gentle reflection with practical homework.
Her aim is to help people feel more capable of handling day-to-day challenges and to move toward goals at a comfortable pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and short assignments to practice between meetings.She also applies attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. That work helps people understand trust, closeness, and repeating relationship difficulties so they can try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Alicia talks with each person about goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as needed. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try different tools and keep what helps most.
Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are good for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments and to continue therapy when life is busy.
