Alisa Branch brings a warm, interactive, and accepting presence to her therapeutic work, focusing on practical support and skill-building to help clients navigate life’s challenges.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based methods and tailored to each person’s needs, with a focus on helping clients feel better about themselves.

Alisa earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Master of Science in Community Agency Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. She is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - professional credentials that reflect graduate-level training and state licensing to provide mental health services. She has extensive experience across treatment settings, including community mental health agencies, private practice, and medical centers, and she has also worked in inpatient psychiatric facilities and mobile crisis services earlier in her career.

Alisa uses multiple treatment modalities to fit the needs of those she works with, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, motivational techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods. She has worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and fatherhood concerns, intimacy and commitment issues, and coping with life changes. Her experience also includes work with diagnoses such as major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and related concerns. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, and she aims to be a steady source of guidance and support throughout the process.
