About Alisa
Alisa Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use in everyday life.
She aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. Her work covers mood concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and stress. She also addresses issues like grief, substance-related concerns, compulsive sexual behavior, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related struggles.
Alisa has experience with adoption and foster care situations, attachment matters, and supporting people affected by sexual assault and abuse. She also helps with communication problems, codependency, impulsivity, and guilt or shame. Her background includes work related to veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she adapts conversation and the plan to fit each person’s needs. That means focusing on concrete skills, behavioral changes, and practical coping strategies. She brings steady, clear guidance rather than abstract theory, and works with clients to set realistic goals they can try between meetings.
People who come for help with anger often want better ways to express frustration, stop resentment building, or manage outbursts with people close to them. Alisa works on communication skills, recognizing triggers, and healthier patterns of responding. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts plans as needed.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Alisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use immediately. One common approach is skills-based cognitive work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more manageable ways of thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood because it targets thought patterns that drive emotional reactions.Another frequent focus is behavioral work that emphasizes changes in actions and routine. That can include communication practice, managing triggers, sleep and activity regulation, and stepwise changes in how someone responds to conflict. These techniques help turn insight into day-to-day habits that reduce tension and frustration.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about the problems they want to change, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try next and how progress will be measured.
Session formats and scheduling options should be confirmed before booking. When used, online sessions can make it easier to fit regular meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about specific session formats and timing when completing the matching questionnaire so arrangements match practical needs.
