About Alisha
Alisha Dennis-Brinson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who uses a client-centered, empathetic approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and substance-related concerns. She practices in Ohio and brings 11 years of experience to sessions. Her style focuses on practical tools and building on a person’s existing strengths.
She aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable for worried parents and individuals. Alisha creates an affirming space where clients can talk through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgement.
Background and approach
She works collaboratively to set goals that matter to each person and tailors a plan to reach them. Sessions emphasize clear, usable strategies you can try between meetings. That might include coping techniques, ways to handle relationship or parenting strain, or steps for managing mood and stress.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma and grief, addiction concerns, intimacy and relationship issues, and life changes like career transitions or parenting challenges. She also addresses concerns related to sleep, eating, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. The practice supports LGBT clients and focuses on meeting each person where they are.
Alisha offers a straightforward, strengths-focused process. She encourages clients to notice progress in small steps and to take an active role in planning treatment. For people who feel overwhelmed, her approach breaks change into short, achievable actions.
If you want clear guidance and a respectful listening space, Alisha aims to help you identify priorities, learn tools, and move forward at a pace that feels right.
Evidence-based tools and online support for busy families
Alisha often uses core evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and stress management strategies that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. These techniques teach breathing, planning, and behavioral steps to handle overwhelming moments and support parenting demands.Another frequently used approach centers on trauma-informed processing and grief work. This method helps people make sense of painful experiences and gradually reduce their emotional intensity through paced conversations and targeted exercises. It is helpful for those dealing with past hurts, loss, or complicated relationship dynamics.
Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose and adjust methods so the work fits daily life and feels realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions work when schedules are tight, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins and written tools. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting and work responsibilities, while still focusing on concrete changes and steady progress.
