About Alisa
Alisa Branch is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She offers a warm, interactive style and gives clear feedback, practical tasks between sessions, and tools to build coping skills. Her goal is to help people feel better about themselves and gain skills they can use day to day.
Alisa combines several approaches to match each person's needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and grounding skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goals and movement toward change. Her work has taken place in community mental health, independent practice, and medical settings.
Earlier roles included inpatient psychiatric care and mobile crisis work, which shaped her skills in handling intense situations. That background helps when clients bring trauma, grief, or strong emotional reactions. Alisa helps with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addictions, eating issues, parenting strain, and ADHD.
She also supports people facing abandonment, blended family struggles, codependency, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. Sessions are offered to people located in North Carolina and are conducted in English. Alisa emphasizes small, practical steps and collaborative planning so clients leave sessions with a clear idea of what to try between meetings.

Online support
Online therapy approaches that teach practical skills
Alisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors because it breaks problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to change.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to improve focus, reduce reactivity, and support grounding during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is a process. Alisa works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can fit short updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
