About Alisha

Alisha Dennis-Brinson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPC, LPCC, practicing in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and anger.

She has supported clients from varied backgrounds through life changes and trauma. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Alisha emphasizes helping people notice strengths they already have and build on them.

Her style is person-centered and respectful. She works with each client to set client-directed goals and a plan they can use between sessions. That plan often includes simple tools to manage emotions, habits, and day-to-day challenges.

Alisha has experience with grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports LGBT clients and those coping with relationship conflict.

She encourages people to take small steps toward change. In sessions she talks through behaviors and feelings, practices coping strategies, and reviews what worked. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at usable skills rather than abstract theory.

How sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Alisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and behavior. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anger and anxiety. Behavioral strategies look at routines and reactions, replacing problematic responses with rehearsed, practical alternatives for day-to-day life. She also uses skills-based methods that teach emotion regulation and coping tools. These techniques help with stress, substance-related urges, sleep problems, and relationship friction by giving short, repeatable steps people can practice between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and personal preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques when something is not working. Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and provide a way to check in during a lunch break or between errands. Discussing practical constraints up front helps pick session lengths and pacing that fit everyday life.
