Alisa Branch, LCMHC, LPC

Alisa Branch is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses and clinical concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, trauma and anger. Her work emphasizes practical tools, feedback, and tasks clients can use between sessions.

Alisa uses clear, interactive sessions that include skill building and goal-oriented steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused approaches to create straightforward plans. Sessions often include concrete coping skills and short homework tasks to practice new responses to stress or anger.

Her background spans outpatient mental health, private practice, community mental health agencies, and a community medical center. Before outpatient work she spent eight years in inpatient psychiatric settings and mobile crisis. That range gives her experience with both short-term stabilization and longer-term therapy needs.

She helps people handle specific issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, eating problems, addictions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and family conflict. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, blended family struggles, caregiver stress, and infidelity-related concerns. The focus is on clear steps people can try between sessions to reduce tension and improve communication.

Alisa encourages straightforward conversations about goals and setbacks. She offers practical feedback, teaches skills drawn from her listed approaches, and checks progress so people see what changes are working for them.
