Alisyn Cundiff, LCSW - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Alisyn

Alisyn Cundiff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, and related struggles. She writes and talks plainly, aiming to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes parents and caregivers can try between meetings.

Alisyn draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments.

Background and approach

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape reactions and patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels overwhelming or when substance use is part of the picture. Her style is warm and interactive.

She centers the conversation on each person's goals and steers clear of one-size-fits-all plans. Progress is framed as steady steps rather than sudden fixes. Training includes a Master of Social Work with a mental health specialization and a Wisconsin LCSW credential 9489-123.

That background informs how she blends talking, problem solving, and practical skills work in sessions. Alisyn pays attention to how past hurts or attachment wounds affect current reactions. She offers tools for managing anxiety, grief, anger, and addictive behaviors while also addressing family dynamics and parenting stress.

Sessions typically emphasize clear skills, communication practice, and small experiments to try between meetings. People can expect a thoughtful, down-to-earth approach that balances empathy with concrete steps. The focus is on what can change now and how to get there at a comfortable pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Alisyn commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then tests small changes to see if things improve. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape reactions today and helps people build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then try approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family routines, try short check-ins between meetings, and use tools in real time while at home. The emphasis is on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps that families can use between sessions to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
