About Alyssa

Alyssa Blaeser is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with children, adolescents, teens (ages 4 and up), individuals, and families to address stress, anxiety, parenting questions, and trauma-related issues. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at parents who need clear guidance and manageable steps.

Alyssa earned a Master of Social Work from Boston University and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW).

Background and approach

She also completed a Certified Mediator program at the University of Milwaukee. Her background includes work in clinical, court, and community settings, with substantial experience in child welfare. In sessions she adapts methods to the family’s needs.

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family systems, psychodynamic ideas, person-centered techniques, and solution-focused tools. That mix lets her focus on behavior change, emotional regulation, attachment questions, and improving communication at home. Parents can expect practical strategies alongside chances to talk through stressful moments.

Alyssa offers parenting coaching and support, helps with caregiver stress, and addresses issues like separation, guilt, and isolation. She also has experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and self-injurious behaviors. Outside of work she enjoys hiking in National Parks, reading, and spending time with her husband and children.

Her approach aims to help families build steadier routines, clearer communication, and more manageable ways to handle difficult emotions.

Evidence-based approaches for families online

Alyssa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help families and young people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and improving routines and skills that reduce conflict.

She also draws on family systems ideas to look at patterns between family members. This helps with communication problems, parenting questions, and issues that involve more than one person in the household.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyssa will talk with the parent or caregiver about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the family. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what is helpful in real life and checks in regularly about progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let parents connect from home, fit sessions around schedules, and use brief check-ins between meetings when useful. The variety of options supports families who need practical, ongoing help without extra travel.
