Aubrey Long

Aubrey Long is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with three years of practice. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic pain and illness, and life changes tied to foster care and child welfare involvement. Aubrey aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so people can start making small shifts that matter.

She centers sessions on what the person wants to change. Early meetings focus on current struggles and clear goals so sessions move in a useful direction. Aubrey uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In session she blends cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices when helpful. Humor is part of her style when it fits - she uses it to lighten heavy moments and point out life’s absurdities.

Aubrey has experience helping people impacted by the child welfare and foster care systems. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship challenges, parenting stress, career questions, and anger. Her work includes attention to complex situations like co-morbidity, chronic illness, and trauma-related concerns.

During the first visit she and the client map out goals and a plan to move forward. Clients set the pace while Aubrey offers guidance and practical tools. She encourages collaboration so the plan stays relevant to daily life and changing needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Aubrey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward chosen values and actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain by shifting what a person does, even when feelings remain uncomfortable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive behaviors. Mindfulness and DBT skills may also be added to build emotion regulation and present-moment focus when needed.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Aubrey will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts when something isn’t working so the plan stays relevant.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can help fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep short check-ins during a workday or school break. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice the same ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills they would in person, adapted to each person’s needs.
