Alisa Branch, LCMHC, LPC

Alisa Branch is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and other life challenges listed on her profile. Sessions emphasize practical skills, feedback, and tasks to practice between meetings.

Alisa uses straightforward methods to build coping skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address mood, anxiety, and behavior patterns. Her work often includes short skills practice, goal-setting, and checking progress week to week.

Her training includes 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 holds an NC LCMHC and a VA LPC and has experience across outpatient mental health, private practice, and community medical settings.

Earlier in her career she worked in inpatient psychiatric care and mobile crisis services. Those roles gave experience with acute situations and with coordinating care during difficult transitions. That background informs her steady approach to safety planning and practical problem solving.

In sessions she provides concrete feedback, offers tools to improve coping, and assigns focused tasks to practice between meetings. People seeking help with anxiety, social discomfort, relationship strain, or adjustment to life changes will find a clear, skills-based way to work toward their goals.
