Dr. Alcione Wright , LMSW

Dr. Alcione Wright brings twenty years of clinical and medical social work experience in Michigan to a practice that blends psychological, emotional, and spiritual care. She holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and a master’s degree in social work, and she is licensed as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker. Her work emphasizes warm, personal engagement and a multidimensional approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit when addressing challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, sleep difficulties, self-esteem issues, and ADHD.

Her therapeutic toolkit draws from person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and techniques aimed at emotional release and positive psychology. This integrative stance supports clients navigating life changes, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, end-of-life and hospice matters, and complex emotional experiences like guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Dr. Wright aims to help individuals integrate psychological and transcendent experiences into daily life while promoting overall wellbeing. Whether addressing mood disorders or guiding someone through bereavement or major transitions, she focuses on practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration to foster resilience and a renewed sense of balance.

Approaches for Online Emotional and Relational Work

Dr. Wright draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment in which clients lead the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with issues like grief, life transitions, and self-esteem by validating personal experience and promoting self-directed growth. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed when relationship dynamics or attachment patterns are central - EFT helps partners and family members recognize underlying emotions and build more secure connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Wright works with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting course as progress unfolds. This partnership ensures therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or while caring for others, supporting consistent treatment even when life is busy or mobility is limited.
