About Alysse

Alysse Fawcett is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. She takes a straightforward, warm approach and aims to help people find practical ways forward. Sessions are a place to talk honestly about what’s hard and to test new ways of coping that fit everyday life.

She uses a strengths-based lens and looks at how different parts of life connect to the problem at hand.

Background and approach

That means conversations may cover work, relationships, routines, grief, and the patterns that keep problems repeating. The goal is to turn small changes into real relief. Alysse trained in psychology at Colorado State University and earned her master’s in marriage and family therapy from Capella University.

She has seven years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background informs practical tools she offers for anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and trauma-related concerns. In sessions she centers empathy and respect while inviting clients to notice strengths they already have.

She blends client-centered techniques with evidence-based methods so people learn skills they can use between sessions. Alysse returned to Colorado in 2023 and brings a straightforward, collaborative style to therapy. Her work includes helping people cope with career stress, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, and grief.

She emphasizes small, achievable steps and supports each person in shaping goals that feel meaningful.

How Alysse’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early bonds shape current reactions. It focuses on patterns in relationships and can help when trust, closeness, or connection feel difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotions in close relationships and can help people identify and shift interaction patterns that cause pain.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Alysse will listen to goals, try a few methods, and collaborate on what feels most useful. That way therapy stays practical and tailored to what the person actually wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options let people connect from home, revisit notes between sessions, and use shorter check-ins when needed. The variety of formats supports consistent progress while keeping scheduling flexible and accessible.

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.
