Her background includes support around adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress. Licensed in Utah as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she draws on practical techniques to help people manage day-to-day challenges and major life changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One approach emphasizes problem-focused work to improve communication and reduce conflict in relationships and family life; it helps people notice patterns and practice new ways of interacting. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed methods to help process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily functioning; this often includes grounding skills and gradually addressing painful memories.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking in often, and adjusting the plan together so it feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around family life, handle short check-ins between meetings, and keep continuity during busy periods. Many people find this flexibility helps them use therapy more consistently while still getting practical tools and steady support from a licensed professional.
