About Alesha
Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's choices.
Perkins uses straightforward, practical methods in conversation. She listens without judgment and helps clients set realistic goals. Sessions often focus on small, achievable steps rather than big promises or labels.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trusting rapport and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to what is working now and what can be tried next.
People who reach out usually want clear tools and a supportive space to practice them. Topics she addresses include relationships, parenting and family strain, addictions, grief, career concerns, bipolar mood management, and rebuilding self-esteem. Anger and coping with life changes are areas she addresses alongside these concerns.
Alesha aims to make therapy practical and accessible. She encourages clients to try different strategies and pick what fits. The first sessions typically clarify goals and create a simple plan to move forward.

How Alesha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of sessions and starts with listening. It helps build trust and lets the therapist tailor support to each individual's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over a few sessions they adjust the plan based on what helps and what feels realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through skills in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings, do short check-ins, or get support when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options aim to make it easier to get consistent care and to practice new strategies in everyday situations.
