About Alesha
Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She has provided therapy across multiple settings and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger among other concerns.
She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps for the problems they bring. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation about what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small, realistic steps to try between meetings. Alesha uses clear feedback and collaborative goal-setting rather than long theory-driven talks.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix means clients can expect talk that centers their perspective, tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, help finding motivation for change, and short-term strategies to move forward.
She has worked with adults across a wide age range and with issues including addictions, grief, bipolar mood concerns, job stress, and self-esteem. Alesha emphasizes client autonomy and invites people to make their own choices about change. Conversations are direct and nonjudgmental, with attention to practical outcomes.
For someone who wants to manage anger, reduce workplace frustration, or stop resentment from building, she offers focused, actionable sessions. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they suit your needs.
How Alesha uses practical approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. Sessions let the person explain what matters most and set goals that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It can be helpful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking the next step.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alesha will discuss options with each person and together they decide which methods to emphasize based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can change as goals shift over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or making it possible to meet without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical tools from CBT or motivational interviewing can still be used effectively.
