About Alisha
Alisha Ellis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes.
Alisha focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the problems they face. Sessions aim to surface unhelpful thoughts and test more workable ways of responding to day-to-day challenges.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Together these approaches support clearer thinking about choices and next steps.
In sessions she pays attention to common sources of strain such as caregiver responsibilities, chronic pain or illness, isolation, and workplace stress. She also addresses concerns tied to veteran and armed forces experience and the search for life purpose. The focus is on practical coping and clearer priorities rather than labels or guarantees.
People who begin with Alisha are usually trying to figure out what comes next after a job change, relationship shift, health setback, or a period of feeling directionless. She invites straightforward discussion about goals and regularly checks in to see what is and isn’t working.
How CBT and Narrative Therapy guide online sessions
Alisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is often practical and skills-based, and it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and daily coping strategies.She also draws on Narrative Therapy, which helps people separate themselves from limiting stories and consider alternative meanings. That approach can be useful when someone wants to rethink identity, life purpose, or responses to major change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to adjust.
