About Alisa
Alisa Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and other life stresses. Her manner is warm and direct, aiming to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Alisa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people track progress and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across many concerns such as parenting challenges, grief, addiction, sleep problems, and self-esteem issues. She has experience supporting people after sexual assault and abuse and with post-traumatic stress symptoms. She also works with those navigating adoption and foster care related worries and attachment questions.
Alisa supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar and mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and recovery from sex addiction. Her approach aims to make change feel realistic and within reach.
People who meet with her can expect focused conversations, tailored strategies, and encouragement to practice new skills between sessions. She helps clients break big problems into smaller steps and build routines that support daily functioning.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach involves processing traumatic experiences safely while building skills to manage strong emotions and night-day functioning after trauma.Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Sessions often shift over time based on what works best for the client's needs and progress.
Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions are useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is convenient for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates or get support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, or family obligations.
