About Aubrey

Aubrey Long is an Indiana-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings three years of front-line experience to a wide range of mental health concerns.

Background and approach

She supports people coping with depression, anxiety, substance use and behavioral addictions, chronic pain and illness, grief, and compassion fatigue, and also draws on significant experience with child welfare and foster care issues. Aubrey blends practical strategies with empathetic collaboration to help clients identify clearer directions and new ways of coping.

Her sessions combine trauma-aware and client-centered techniques with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Aubrey aims to create a warm, down-to-earth atmosphere and sometimes uses humor to help reduce the weight of difficult thoughts.

In initial meetings she reviews goals and symptoms, then partners with clients to design a plan that fits their needs and priorities.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Clients can expect clear explanations of therapeutic tools and concrete practices drawn from methods Aubrey uses. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore internal parts and their relationships to painful feelings or patterns, which can be useful for addressing trauma-related experiences and self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action to manage difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and tailor techniques accordingly rather than offering a one-size-fits-all model. Together you will experiment with strategies and adjust the plan as progress and insights emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and access needs. These options allow continuity of care from wherever you are and make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while still working directly with a licensed professional.
