Alisha Dennis-Brinson

Alisha Dennis-Brinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and major life changes. Her style is warm and client-centered, focusing on practical steps that build on each person's strengths.

She offers an affirming space where people can talk about difficult feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on clear, individual goals chosen by the client. Alisha uses tools to help people notice what works for them and to strengthen coping skills for everyday life.

Her background includes work with trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing career decisions, parenting challenges, sleep or eating issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. That range comes from more than a decade of seeing many different situations and responses.

Alisha aims to help clients develop straightforward plans and healthier routines. She works collaboratively to create steps that feel doable between sessions. The approach emphasizes small changes that add up to better handling of stress and renewed confidence.

She invites people to take the first step and says asking for help is courageous. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on the therapist's availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Alisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; this helps people find clearer, calmer ways to respond to stress. Another common focus is trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past hurts affect current behavior and supports step-by-step strategies to feel more in control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means plans are shaped together and adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also use online work to guide homework between sessions, track goals, and keep momentum while balancing everyday responsibilities.
