About Alicia

Alicia Collins Wong, LPCC, is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Ohio. She has nine years of experience in mental health and focuses on supporting people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger. Alicia emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth way of working so clients can make steady changes.

Her practice centers on listening first and then building a plan that fits each person. Sessions tend to focus on skill-building, understanding patterns, and pacing work so it does not feel overwhelming. She uses a mix of Trauma-Focused Therapy, attachment work, and cognitive-behavioral tools when those approaches match a person's goals.

Alicia uses client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and respectful. She works with motivation-based strategies when people need help finding momentum for change. Dialectical behavior approaches are offered to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when they are helpful.

People come to Alicia for a range of concerns including stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, addiction-related problems, and coping with medical or chronic conditions. She also supports exploration of identity and sexuality in ways that honor individual values and choices.

Her style is flexible and direct. Goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button to answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session according to therapist availability.

How trauma-informed and attachment approaches translate online

Alicia commonly blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with attachment-based work to help people process distress and rebuild safer patterns in relationships. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic events and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people shift toward more secure ways of relating.

She also uses client-centered techniques to keep care collaborative and tailored. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in weekly work.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still allows for focused skills practice, emotional processing, and tracking progress over time.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
