Alesha Perkins, LCSW

Alesha Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She aims to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Alesha takes a practical approach. She listens for what a person wants to change and then helps shape small, workable steps to get there. She uses straightforward methods to address thinking patterns, motivation, and real-life problems. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented so people leave with things they can try between meetings.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages autonomy and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers. People who prefer clear tasks and honest feedback often do well in this setting.

With experience across a range of settings and age groups, she has worked with concerns that include grief, parenting stress, anger, career issues, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with medical or major life changes. That background informs how she frames practical interventions and supports recovery from substance-related problems.

She invites prospective clients to begin by identifying goals and priorities. The focus is on steady progress and usable tools, so people can manage stress, strengthen relationships, and rebuild confidence over time.

How her approaches shape online work

Alesha uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person’s own goals and values. This approach means sessions usually start by asking what matters most and then shaping the work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to change mood and stress levels; it works well for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build readiness for steps like cutting back on substance use.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try together. The plan can shift over time based on what helps most, so the process stays practical and tailored to the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. They also let people choose how they connect in a way that fits their day, whether a shorter check-in around work or a longer weekly session to focus on larger goals.
