Alicia Long, LPC

Alicia Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming and more doable.

She builds an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Alicia emphasizes small, manageable changes people can try between meetings.

Her style mixes client-centered listening with active techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to teach calm, present-moment focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need help managing strong emotions.

Alicia draws on eight years of counseling experience to tailor support to each person. She works at a pace set by the client and checks in often to make sure the work feels useful. Her aim is to help people build confidence and clearer ways of coping with daily stress.

People who choose her often want straightforward, compassionate help rather than long lists of clinical terms. She encourages questions and keeps conversations focused on what matters most to the client. If someone is ready to take a first step, she guides them through the initial process and next steps.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Alicia combines client-centered work with targeted techniques to help people in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady space to sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces simple exercises to change them; it often helps with anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding CBT exercises or mindfulness skills as goals become clearer.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy life and keeping progress steady. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, so practicing coping skills can become part of everyday routines. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
