About Alisha

Alisha Dreiling is an LPC based in Alabama who brings eight years of clinical experience to work with people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a person-centered foundation that honors each client's lived experience while integrating trauma-informed, biopsychosocial perspectives to address how past events, body responses, and social context interact. Her style emphasizes attunement and nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore painful feelings, recurring patterns, and questions about identity or purpose.

Alisha weaves techniques from attachment-focused and somatic approaches along with mindfulness tools and Jungian ideas when helpful, creating space for emotional processing as well as insight and practical coping skills. She aims to help people notice where they feel stuck, broaden their capacity to tolerate difficult emotions, and move toward clearer, more intentional choices.

Alisha accepts international clients and offers sessions suited to varied schedules. Her practice invites clients to arrive as they are and to collaborate on a path forward that fits their priorities and daily realities.

Integrating attachment, mindfulness, and somatic work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns; this approach helps clients explore attachment needs and develop more supported ways of relating. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and support work on anxiety, grief, and stress. Somatic Therapy attends to bodily experience and physiological responses, offering techniques to release stored tension and to build tolerance for difficult emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs and goals. Together they will evaluate which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan as insight and progress emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats support continuity of care, allow for practice of mindfulness and somatic skills between meetings, and make it easier to schedule consistent sessions that match a client's daily life.
