About Alicia
Alicia Collins Wong is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the aftermath of trauma. Her work also addresses challenges like ADHD, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and sleeping.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She blends somatic ideas with attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people reconnect to their bodies, their needs, and their relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals, rhythm, and comfort level rather than a fixed formula. In conversation she uses clear, direct language and invites clients to notice how emotions show up in the body. She also draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense feelings.
This mix aims to give tools for day-to-day coping as well as deeper emotional regulation. Alicia works with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, compassion fatigue, body image worries, chronic illness and pain, attachment wounds, and experiences related to adoption or foster care.
She is open to discussing sexuality and kink in a nonjudgmental way when it relates to a person’s wellbeing. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alicia uses somatic-informed work to help people notice physical sensations tied to emotions. That often means simple body-based practices and grounding techniques aimed at reducing overwhelm and helping people feel steadier in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolbox and focuses on patterns in relationships, helping people understand how early bonds shape current trust and closeness issues and offering ways to change those patterns.She pairs these approaches with client-centered listening, which emphasizes understanding each person without judgment and shaping sessions around their priorities. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods feel most useful and adjust over time based on needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, parenting, or mobility limits and let people use methods that suit their comfort level. Licensed professionals can guide somatic practices and attachment work effectively through these remote options, while also teaching CBT and DBT skills people can use between sessions.
