About Alesha
Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Virginia with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addictions, grief, parenting strains, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She uses straightforward talk to help clients set and reach goals.
Perkins draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversation. She listens without judgment and supports clients as they decide what changes to make. The work tends to be direct and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
Her approach blends client-centered talk, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, find motivation for change, and try small experiments that can shift daily routines. Conversations often include clear options and short-term planning.
Perkins has worked in varied settings across the lifespan, including with children, adults, and older adults, and brings that practical experience into sessions. She aims to help people organize problems into manageable parts and to try steps that fit their life. Meetings are intended to be a place for honest conversation and steady progress.
People usually come with a few clear goals, such as reducing anxiety, improving relationships, managing mood swings, or addressing substance use. Sessions focus on what can be done between meetings and how to measure small changes over time.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Alesha uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core parts of her approach. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs to clarify values and make personal choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose whether to use video or a phone-style meeting depending on bandwidth, comfort with a camera, or the length of the appointment. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and homework to work in remote sessions to support day-to-day changes.
