Background and approach
She works to make sessions feel simple and practical. Expect clear goals, tools to try between meetings, and check-ins about what is and isn’t helping. Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Narrative Therapy ideas.
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and also looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Together these methods help address anxiety, grief, self-worth, and work-related stress. She also pays attention to caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Her work includes support for people affected by military or veteran issues and for those dealing with social anxiety or workplace conflict. Alisha practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where hard topics can be spoken about plainly and tested with small, doable actions.
How cognitive and narrative approaches work online
Alisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and workplace worries. She also uses Narrative Therapy ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can be helpful for grief, self-esteem, and life purpose concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try one method, and adjust as progress and needs become clearer. Together they set short-term goals and practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you keep visual connection and interactive work, phone sessions may work better when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make sessions easier to fit into busy days and provide flexible ways to use the therapeutic tools discussed.
