Aubrey Long , LCSW

Aubrey Long is an Indiana-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Aubrey also brings substantial experience from child welfare and foster care work, helping people navigate life during and after involvement with those systems.

Her approach blends trauma-informed care with a client-centered stance, meeting clients where they are and building treatment around their priorities. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor interventions to each person. Sessions are collaborative and practical, focused on identifying goals, reducing distress, and discovering new ways forward.

Aubrey incorporates empathic support and a down-to-earth sense of humor to help lessen the hold of painful thoughts and experiences. Clients guide the process while she serves as a knowledgeable navigator, partnering to create a plan that reflects their values and needs.

How Aubrey’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Aubrey often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her style by prioritizing the person’s goals and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aubrey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. The client’s values and choices guide planning and interventions.

Online therapy with Aubrey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without commuting, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
