Alisha "Nikki" Lowman, LCSW

Alisha "Nikki" Lowman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, and related challenges such as ADHD and sleep difficulties. Nikki identifies as LGBTQ+ affirming and works with young adults and adults on common life stressors and transitions.

Nikki prefers a client-centered way of working. Sessions are interactive and collaborative. She emphasizes practical skills people can use when they feel overwhelmed or reactive. Nikki often frames change around how someone responds to their circumstances rather than trying to change the circumstances themselves.

Her background includes trauma-informed work and efforts to help people manage distressing emotions like anger, grief, and intense stress. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from mindfulness to bring attention to the present moment. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are also part of her toolkit for emotion regulation and tolerating strong feelings.

Nikki also uses motivational interviewing strategies to support readiness for change and to set achievable goals. She has experience helping young adults adjust to life transitions such as starting college or navigating parental separation. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress and mood-related concerns.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People who want clear, usable strategies for managing anger, anxiety, sleep problems, or relationship strain will find an approach that focuses on skills, discussion, and collaborative planning.
