About Alcione
Dr. Alcione Wright, LMSW, has 20 years of clinical and medical social work experience in Michigan. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions address practical problems and everyday struggles in short, direct exchanges.
Wright uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. She mixes mindfulness practices into sessions to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Her style is straightforward and oriented toward small, workable changes rather than vague goals.
Her background includes a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and a master’s degree in social work. That combination informs attention to emotional, psychological, and spiritual matters when clients bring them up. She has two decades of experience working with mood disorders, aging and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
In sessions she helps people sort through guilt, shame, control issues, forgiveness, and problems with self-love. She also addresses chronic stress, chronic pain-related stress, and practical coping strategies for daily life. Conversations can include skill practice, thought records, and behavioral experiments to test different ways of responding.
People who prefer clear steps and concrete practices tend to find this approach useful. Wright works in English and practices in Michigan. For people who want a mix of cognitive tools, emotional work, and mindfulness, she offers a blend that aims to make everyday life more manageable.
How Dr. Wright uses CBT and related approaches online
Dr. Wright draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises - thought records, behavior experiments, and step-by-step coping plans - that make problems easier to notice and change.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals, and emotionally-focused work to help name and process strong feelings. These approaches can help with grief, relationship strain, mood concerns, and stress by combining practical skills with space to address emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust strategies as needed.
