About Alesha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina and Virginia with 15 years of experience, Alesha Perkins helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, addictions, grief, anger, career matters, bipolar condition, and coping with life changes.
Alesha works mainly with individuals. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her sessions. She aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental setting where clients can talk about real problems and try practical steps forward.
Her style is direct and conversational. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and trying skills that change day-to-day behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change; solution-focused work narrows in on small, achievable next steps.
Perkins has held roles across clinical settings and has experience with adults and older adults, as well as prior work with children mentioned in her background. That breadth informs how she frames goals and plans treatment in ways that fit common daily demands.
She frames therapy as a collaboration. Alesha focuses on practical strategies people can use between sessions. The aim is clearer choices, fewer repeated patterns, and easier ways to handle stressors as they come up.
Before booking, people should confirm the session formats offered for their location and needs. She provides services in English and does not accept international clients.

How her approaches work for virtual care
Alesha uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client, helping people state goals and priorities. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety or low mood and test new ways of coping.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It uses open questions and reflective statements to clarify readiness and build motivation for practical steps. Together these methods help identify problems, test solutions, and track small changes over time.
She approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of early sessions, and adjustments can be made as needs evolve.
Details about which remote session formats she offers are not specified here, so confirm available options before you book. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use methods like CBT worksheets and motivational conversations in between meetings.
