About Alesha
Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked across multiple settings and has provided individual and family therapy to people facing a range of life challenges. Alesha aims to connect in a straightforward, nonjudgmental way so people feel comfortable talking about what matters most to them.
Her style is empathetic and easygoing. She focuses on helping people make practical changes toward goals they set for themselves. She encourages clients to keep decision-making power and supports them as they try new ways of coping and relating.
Alesha uses a blend of approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix is chosen to match what each person needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Common concerns she helps address include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, parenting strain, grief, addictions, anger, career shifts, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps people can use between meetings.
People who prefer a direct, compassionate guide who listens and helps them test practical strategies may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients are invited to learn more and begin the matching process to see if she is a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alesha commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective so they can identify their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs acceptance, empathy, and a space to sort priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on how things are progressing. The work is framed as a team effort where the client's goals guide the choices about technique and pacing.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current offerings before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or between commitments. It can also let people use shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what works, and it can make it simpler to follow through on between-session tasks like practice exercises or tracking thoughts and behaviors.
