About Dennisha
Dennisha Pauley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Many clients come to her for help with grief, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, and coping after trauma.
Dennisha has ten years of counseling experience and over 19 years working in mental health settings.
Background and approach
She holds an LCMHC and practices in North Carolina. Her work includes supporting people with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, attention concerns like ADHD, and the emotional toll of caregiving or chronic illness. Her style is warm, respectful, and practical.
Sessions are built around the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all method. She combines several ways of working to match a client's goals and personality. In session she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier.
Dennisha also focuses on improving communication and intimacy concerns, addressing abandonment and attachment issues, and working through disruptive mood or dissociative symptoms when they arise. She offers a straightforward process for getting started and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Dennisha encourages realistic steps so progress feels manageable and lasting.

Online approaches that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, practical actions that move someone toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they figure out which methods to try and make adjustments as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and review notes later. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep continuity while working toward change.
