About Alisha

Alisha Dennis-Brinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Ohio with 11 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, substance-related concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not accept international clients.

Her approach is client-centered and practical. She listens to what is hardest right now and helps people set small, achievable steps. She works alongside clients to create clear, client-directed goals and a plan that fits everyday demands.

In sessions she helps people notice strengths they already have. She uses tools to increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to reduce patterns that cause pain. Conversations focus on manageable changes that improve day-to-day coping and relationships.

Alisha has experience supporting people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses career stress, anger, and self-esteem issues while recognizing the impact of identity and LGBT concerns on wellbeing.

Her background includes more than a decade working with diverse clients on substance use and adjustment to life changes. Prospective clients begin by completing an intake questionnaire and scheduling a first session, where together they map out initial goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote work

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with symptoms and coping. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against real-life evidence; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, anger, or urges related to substance use and can be practiced between meetings to build confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints, and then suggest a mix of techniques to try. Over a few sessions they adjust methods and focus areas to better match what is working for the client.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and home life and making it easier to keep appointments. If you are considering remote work, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find shorter check-ins or sessions outside typical office hours help maintain momentum and consistency.
