About Alisha
Ellis draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to guide sessions. She uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding. Narrative Therapy is used to look at life stories and separate a person from the problems they face so they can make different choices.
Across eight years of clinical practice she has supported people through caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses social anxiety, workplace issues, and challenges common to veterans and armed forces connections. Much of her work involves short-term goals and skill building that clients can use between sessions.
Sessions are presented in a calm, conversational style. Ellis helps people name their priorities, set doable steps, and track progress. She invites clients to shape the work so therapy fits daily routines and real obligations.
She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices from Georgia. People who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if this approach feels right.

How CBT and Narrative Therapy Work Online
Alisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on clear problems and practical steps that can be practiced between meetings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, and helps separate a person from the problems they face so new perspectives can emerge.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most and suggest methods that match goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try different techniques and homework between meetings, which many find helpful when working on stress, grief, or chronic illness management.
