Aletha Nelson, LPC

Aletha Nelson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings seven years of counseling experience and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas. Aletha aims to make therapy a welcoming place where people can bring all parts of themselves, including the hard or uncomfortable pieces.

She favors a client-centered style, which means sessions start with the person's priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy when they match a person's needs. Those approaches help with changing unhelpful thoughts, building skills, and setting manageable goals.

Aletha has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and grief. She also supports those navigating life changes, career pressures, relationship concerns, and issues related to ADHD. Additional focuses include forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia.

In sessions she helps people identify practical steps toward clearer communication, better coping, and improved self-esteem. She emphasizes collaboration, asking questions together about what will help and adjusting the plan as needed. Therapy can be challenging at times and also rewarding, and she prepares people for both parts of the process.

Work is offered through a mix of real-time and text-based formats. Aletha accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She tailors treatment plans to each person's goals and moves at a pace that fits their situation.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, building rapport, and following the person's pace and priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what they hear, and helps the person name goals that feel important to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, social phobia, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practical exercises between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, effective changes quickly. It centers on strengths and concrete next steps that can reduce distress and build momentum toward goals.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Aletha will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as needs and goals change. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework so it fits each person's life.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when video isn’t possible, live chat supports real-time text exchanges, and messaging lets people check in or send brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy days and varied routines.
