About Aubrey
Aubrey Long is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana who brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She helps people facing a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance use and behavioral addictions, chronic pain and illness, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with child welfare and foster care, which informs her ability to support those navigating life during or after involvement with those systems. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered presence.
She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients clarify goals, learn practical coping skills, and shift unhelpful patterns. Sessions are collaborative and often grounded in everyday language and occasional humor to make difficult material easier to approach.
Aubrey centers the client’s priorities when building a plan, aiming to help people identify next steps and regain a sense of agency as they work through change.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Many clients benefit from brief, skills-based approaches that target thoughts, behaviors, and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete strategies to change behaviors and reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most; this approach is helpful for coping with chronic pain, life transitions, and persistent emotional struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can support people dealing with intense emotions or ongoing relationship stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Aubrey will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then tailor a plan that pulls from these methods to match the client’s needs. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives or to access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to share worksheets, teach coping skills, and check in between meetings in ways that suit varied schedules and learning styles.
