About Alli
Alli LaRue is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. She also focuses on issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended families, and young adult issues.
Alli approaches therapy from a perspective that centers the person's own knowledge about their life. She treats clients as the experts in their stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and practical, aiming to uncover skills the client already has and apply them to current problems.
When anxiety, mood problems, or relationship tensions feel overwhelming, Alli uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage thoughts and feelings. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused methods to improve connection and communication in relationships.
Alli has worked across a range of life stages and family situations. That experience informs how she supports people through separation, parenting transitions, or the emotional demands that come with pregnancy and childbirth. She has specific experience with trauma related to sexual assault and abuse.
People working through the early adult years will find practical help for feeling behind, for changes in relationships, and for the pressures of school or early career life. To begin, she asks a few questions about current needs and goals and then agrees on straightforward steps to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. Online sessions using this approach tend to be collaborative conversations where the therapist reflects what she hears and helps you prioritize what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT can include practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns; it helps people name feelings and change interaction patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alli will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, emotionally focused work, mindfulness practices, or motivational interviewing for making changes.
Session logistics are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so therapy stays practical and focused on everyday problems.
