About Alisa
Alisa Branch is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Branch offers straightforward, interactive care. She gives feedback in sessions and suggests tasks to practice between meetings. She focuses on building coping skills and day-to-day tools clients can use to manage emotions and problems.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Master of Science in Community Agency Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. She has worked in outpatient mental health, community mental health agencies, private practice, and a community medical center. Earlier in her career she worked in inpatient psychiatric settings and mobile crisis services.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That variety lets her match tools to what someone needs, whether the focus is managing anxiety, coping with loss, or addressing patterns like codependency.
She works in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Mindfulness Therapy. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, handling stress, and improving communication. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative planning keeps sessions focused on concrete changes rather than vague promises.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins when time is tight, not needing travel time, or using phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to an online setting so skills practice and between-session tasks still take place.
