Alesha Perkins

Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work and draws on a longer career in social work. Alesha focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, substance use, grief, parenting strains, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and other life changes.

She prefers a down-to-earth, nonjudgmental style. Sessions are conversational and practical. She encourages people to set goals and keep control over the choices they make. Her manner is described as easygoing and authentic, which helps people feel comfortable talking honestly.

Alesha blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy are woven into sessions. That mix lets her work on thought patterns, motivation, problem solving, and what people want to do differently in daily life.

In meetings she helps clients break problems into manageable steps. She uses discussion and hands-on strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. The focus is on realistic goals people can try between sessions.

Alesha has worked in many settings and with varied age groups during her career. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's autonomy. Prospective clients are invited to consider what they want from therapy and take the next step toward those goals.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Alesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. That work often focuses on small, practical experiments and new skills to improve mood and reduce anxiety or anger. Client-Centered Therapy is also central; it means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead so goals reflect what matters most to the person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals tailor methods and pacing so therapy matches daily routines and real-world demands.
