Meet Alysia

“You know yourself the best. Honoring your body’s inner wisdom can lead you to experiences of joy and freedom. Doing so also supports you in being firmly rooted yet fluidly present in your decisions, especially in moments of testing or questioning from others.”
— Alysia W. McGlone | Embodied Moments Counseling Services, PLLC | Founder

Who am I?

I am Alysia W. McGlone, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and founder of Embodied Moments Counseling Services, PLLC, an online private practice based in Greensboro, NC, serving adults across North Carolina.

I’ve had to unlearn extreme self-sufficiency and the instinct to retreat when old wounds around the belief that I’m not enough are activated. My goal these days is to prioritize spaces where I can cultivate joy in who I am, be without doing, and practice vulnerability for connection, play, and freedom. My hope is for you to experience this freedom as well!

I feel a deep sense of gratitude for witnessing my clients’ stories and collaborating with them to make sense of what has happened, holding space for them to empower their self-agency, and reaching that bittersweet day when we agree it’s time to “graduate” from therapy.

Who I Help: Culturally Responsive Trauma Therapy

I support clients in addressing conditions such as:

  • PTSD, Anxiety, panic

  • Depression/Mood Disorders

  • ADHD/Neurodivergence and executive dysfunction

  • Balancing motherhood/fatherhood and other life roles

  • Burnout, life transitions, and intersectional identity stressors

  • Workplace stress/trauma

  • Clients in the recovery phase from Eating disorders and body image or OCD challenges

Fun Facts

  • Born and raised in Conover, North Carolina.

  • Singing, painting, drawing, crocheting, and being in nature are restorative hobbies and experiences I enjoy, whether independently or in community with supportive family and friends.

  • A not-so-secret skill of mine is creating curated playlists across genres: Gospel, R&B, Neo Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, and more! Ask me who I have on rotation at the moment!

Why a Somatic & Mind-Body Approach?

We'll use strategies and techniques from EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you learn to listen to what your mind and body are communicating, understand where those patterns came from, and develop more choice in how you respond.

Our work bridges the gap between knowing you’re okay but not feeling okay.

You’ll learn to use discernment as you listen to your body’s cues about your preferences, needs, and boundaries.

We’ll collaborate on identifying ways you’d like to practice acting on this awareness outside of appointments, so familiar reminders to shrink, shut down, or silence your voice no longer determine how you respond - or how you view yourself, others, or your future.
