Aubrey Long , LCSW

Aubrey Long (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana who supports people facing a broad range of concerns, from depression and anxiety to substance use, behavioral addictions, and chronic pain or illness. She also brings significant experience working with child welfare and foster care systems and helps clients make sense of life during or after involvement with those systems.

In session, Aubrey blends trauma-informed and client-centered ways of working, drawing on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She aims to encourage and support clients as they identify challenges and find new paths forward, using practical tools alongside a warm, occasionally humorous approach to help reduce the power of difficult thoughts.

At the first appointment, Aubrey reviews current symptoms and therapy goals and collaborates with each person to build a plan for moving ahead. She frames the work as a partnership in which the client remains in the driver’s seat while she serves as a navigator. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a social work credential that denotes clinical training and licensure - Aubrey focuses on helping people build coping skills, clarify values, and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Aubrey Long

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters most to them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them. ACT can support work with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building values-driven action. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s pace; it helps clients feel understood and supports growth by following their priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, addictions, and coping with chronic health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aubrey works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors tools and strategies so therapy feels relevant and manageable for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier to access. Aubrey provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options support ongoing momentum between sessions and make it simpler to receive therapy from different locations and life circumstances.
