About Alicia
Alicia Long is an LPC who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those ready to take small steps toward feeling better. Her approach is encouraging and focused on what the person in front of her wants to change.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and setting manageable goals. Alicia draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and use their strengths in everyday life.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace and perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood. When emotions feel overwhelming, tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy may be introduced to help regulate feelings and improve how people relate to others.
Alicia works in Alabama as a licensed professional counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people clarify practical next steps and build skills they can use between sessions. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at making change feel possible rather than distant.

How Alicia’s approaches translate to online work
Alicia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and building motivation from the client’s values and goals. It can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a change.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means following the person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on understanding the client’s perspective and supporting self-directed progress. Alicia incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and to practice small behavior changes between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Alicia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are normal as trust and insight grow.
