About Alisha

Alisha Ellis welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and career challenges. Alisha presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence to make it easier to talk about hard things.

Alisha is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - and has eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day, while also listening to personal stories that shape how someone sees themselves.

Background and approach

Her approach balances changing unhelpful thinking patterns and re-authoring life stories to build new meaning. In sessions she aims to create an open space for thoughts and feelings. Conversations cover immediate coping skills and longer-term goals.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and to practice alternatives. Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to help clients separate themselves from problems and find different ways to view difficult chapters. That can be useful when grief, chronic illness, or workplace stress has made someone feel stuck.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process. Alisha works to understand each person’s priorities and then tailors practical strategies to those goals. Her focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Practical approaches for online care

Alisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and workplace concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reshape the stories they live by, which can be helpful for grief, chronic illness, and finding life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they decide whether to prioritize skills-based work, story-focused exploration, or a mix of both, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can take place as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can provide shorter check-ins or flexible touchpoints between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while maintaining a steady path toward stated goals.
