About Alisha

Alisha Dennis-Brinson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) practicing in Ohio with over 11 years of experience. She offers a warm, client-centered approach and focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, substance use, and relationship stress. Her style is empathetic and straightforward, aimed at helping clients notice their strengths and take manageable steps forward.

She listens first and builds an individual plan with each person. That plan focuses on clear, client-directed goals and practical tools to cope with daily challenges. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings, understand behavior patterns, and try new ways of responding to stress.

Alisha has worked with people from diverse backgrounds on issues such as trauma, grief, career stress, parenting strain, and challenges around intimacy and identity. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. Her aim is to help clients move toward better routines, improved sleep and eating habits, and healthier relationships.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process that respects each person’s pace. Alisha encourages small, achievable steps and builds on strengths people already have. She welcomes questions and works to create an affirming space for exploration.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Alisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One commonly used approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This helps people notice patterns and try small experiments to see what works in daily life.

Another frequent approach centers on building coping skills for stress, trauma, and cravings. It teaches short, repeatable strategies to manage strong emotions, improve sleep and eating routines, and reduce impulsive responses. These tools can be practiced between sessions to support steady progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

Because the biography does not list explicit session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce barriers to attending regularly, which helps sustain steady work on goals.
