About Alisha

Alisha Ellis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She supports clients working through career struggles and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental, focused on listening first and then building practical steps forward.

Alisha keeps sessions grounded in everyday language. She invites people to share thoughts and feelings and then looks for patterns together. That may mean naming unhelpful thinking, mapping a turning point in a story, or setting small goals to build confidence.

Background and approach

Her background includes eight years of clinical practice as a social worker in Georgia, with licensure as an LCSW and CSW. That experience shapes how she approaches common struggles like isolation, burnout, or chronic illness. She combines attention to feeling with concrete strategies to manage stress and anxiety.

Alisha often uses Narrative Therapy ideas to help people see their problems as separate from themselves. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts that get in the way and to test new ways of acting. Together these approaches help people move from stuckness toward clearer choices.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. Alisha encourages small experiments between meetings and checks progress regularly. The goal is steady change you can feel in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Alisha directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How Narrative and CBT work in online sessions

Alisha uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how a problem fits into a life story and finds exceptions or alternative plots that open up new choices. It can be useful for grief, life purpose questions, and feeling stuck.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, workplace stress, or social fears.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alisha treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will help you decide what to try based on your goals and preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made or new needs arise.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity during transitions.
