About Aletha
Aletha Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has seven years of counseling experience and works with people facing anxiety, stress, anger, grief, career concerns, and life changes. Aletha takes a straightforward, warm approach.
Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person seeking help. She then helps set clear goals and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Her work often draws on client-centered principles.
Background and approach
That means conversations focus on the person in front of her and their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that ease anxiety and social phobia. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolbox for people who want short-term, goal-directed work.
She helps clients spot strengths and small changes that lead to quicker relief. Aletha also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship strain, family stress, self-love, and forgiveness concerns. She earned a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas and holds a Louisiana LPC credential.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Treatment plans are adjusted to fit each person’s pace and needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aletha uses client-centered work to keep the focus on each person’s priorities. This means sessions begin with listening and shaping goals that matter to the client. It helps when someone wants care that respects their pace and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice patterns of thought and behavior that worsen anxiety or anger. The work includes practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy is offered for people who prefer goal-directed, shorter-term work. It highlights strengths and small steps that build momentum toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
