About Alisha

Alisha Ellis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. She keeps things direct and approachable so worried parents can quickly see if she might be a fit. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon or long lectures.

Ellis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people sort thoughts and reshape unhelpful patterns. She encourages clients to name the stories they tell about themselves and to test small changes that build confidence. Work often includes short-term skills for coping and longer conversations about life direction and purpose.

Her background includes licensed practice in Georgia and New York and eight years in clinical roles. She aims to make the room a place where feelings can be shared without judgment, and where decisions are examined alongside real-life constraints.

Typical topics include caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, loneliness, workplace strain, and challenges veterans may face after service. Ellis helps people identify manageable next steps, whether that is setting boundaries, trying new habits, or reframing negative self-talk.

Therapy starts with a conversation about goals and what feels most urgent. From there she and the client choose practical tools and a pacing that work with daily life and responsibilities.

How CBT and Narrative Therapy Shape Online Work

Alisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test thoughts that influence their feelings and actions. CBT often includes small experiments and practical exercises designed to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful narratives that support confidence and purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adapting as progress unfolds.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving commute time or allowing appointments between work tasks. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. The focus is on finding a plan that fits daily routines and helps people practice changes between meetings.
