Alisha Ellis

Alisha Ellis is an LCSW and CSW licensed in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career doubts, and major life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, loneliness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace concerns.

Alisha uses clear, practical conversation to sort through what feels stuck. She listens for unhelpful thinking patterns and looks at life stories people tell about themselves. From there she and the person identify small, doable steps to test different approaches in daily life.

Her style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about who they are and what they can do. Sessions tend to be focused on what is causing distress now and on concrete next steps.

Alisha aims to help people weigh options after a big change, move through grief, or find more clarity around work and purpose. She invites straightforward discussion about goals and obstacles. The plan adjusts as needs shift.

She holds licenses in New York and Georgia and conducts work from Georgia. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Alisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. CBT sessions typically look at specific patterns, try small behavior experiments, and teach practical skills for managing anxiety and stress.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy to examine the stories clients tell about themselves. That work helps people notice alternate plotlines and choose different ways to describe their strengths and options when facing life changes or grief.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT techniques, narrative work, or a mix best fits the situation, and they adjust the plan as things change.

Please confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting conversations into a work break, reducing travel time, or allowing check-ins that do not require being on camera for the full time. Online work can make it easier to try short structured exercises between appointments and to track changes in everyday settings.
