Alesha Perkins

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and North Carolina. I’ve been working in this field for over 20 years with over 15 years of experience in providing individual and family therapy. I have worked in a variety of settings and provided therapy to children, adults and geriatric populations. I have worked with clients dealing with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, divorce, career challenges, substance abuse, medical diagnoses, etc.

I enjoy connecting with people and helping them to make changes to meet the goals they have set for themselves. My counseling style is nonjudgmental and empathetic. I want clients to feel empowered to lead and know they have the autonomy to make the decisions they choose with no judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, motivational interviewing and solution-focused counseling. I’m easygoing and authentic which makes it easy for clients to freely talk to me.

I’m glad that you have decided to start this journey towards being a better you. I’m here to guide you on this journey and look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care. It can be a practical option for people seeking support for these kinds of issues.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format they prefer – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different match. Online therapy offers an accessible way to work with qualified therapists while maintaining a format that suits individual needs and routines.
