Alisha Barnes, LPC

Alisha Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on clear, practical therapy. She uses a person-centered approach and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and depression. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she emphasizes working together to set realistic goals.

Alisha draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and daily patterns. Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning new coping strategies, and practicing skills that fit everyday life.

Her background includes a Master of Science in clinical and counseling psychology earned in 2016 and eight years of practice. During that time she has gained experience with addiction, trauma, codependency, mood concerns, and a wide range of life changes. She values a strong working relationship and treats people with compassion and respect.

Alisha aims to tailor treatment plans to each person. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjusts plans as needs change. People can expect straightforward feedback, chances to practice new skills, and a focus on what helps between sessions.

Please be kind to yourself when considering help and take the next step when you feel ready.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small action steps toward those values while learning tools to handle difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns with others and helps people build healthier ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, trust, and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and needs and help decide which methods to emphasize. That plan can change over time as progress and priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach practical skills, review homework, and support changes between meetings.
