About Alisa
Alisa Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. Sessions are aimed at clear, practical steps and conversations that help people manage current problems and make changes they want.
Alisa has worked across a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and eating or sleeping problems. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, attachment wounds, autism spectrum considerations, body image and codependency. Her experience includes supporting people affected by sexual assault and post-traumatic stress.
In session she focuses on direct conversation and developing a plan people can use between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients practice different ways of coping and communicating. Sessions include talking through practical steps for parenting, relationship boundaries, and day-to-day stress management.
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood, trauma responses, and relationship skills. She aims to make therapy useful and understandable rather than full of jargon. Her background includes a decade-plus of work with adults in clinical settings and community services.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, or coping after loss. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Alisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing patterns of thinking and behavior. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.She also uses trauma-informed methods that help people process upsetting events at a manageable pace and build skills to reduce distress. These techniques focus on practical coping skills, grounding strategies, and gradual exposure to feared situations when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns come up.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work, or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let people avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. These practical advantages can help therapy fit into everyday life without requiring a specific in-person schedule.
