Alisa Roberts , LMFT

Alisa Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and women's issues, and aims to create respectful, compassionate therapeutic conversations that fit each person's needs.

Alisa listens for the situations that cause the most stress. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, mood concerns like bipolar, and the overwhelm that comes with caregiving or compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy or sexual issues.

Her approach is practical and individualized. Sessions are shaped around what a person wants to change, with straightforward goals and steps to try between meetings. She works with people on parenting challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and attachment or communication problems.

Alisa has experience with a wide range of related concerns, including body image, eating and sleeping struggles, ADHD, impulse difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people navigating divorce, separation, career shifts, and the stress of military-connected life.

She explains clinical ideas in plain language and keeps the focus on real-life solutions. If someone wants support to build self-love, manage anger, or improve relationships, she helps identify small, manageable changes and practices to try.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are explained in clear, everyday terms. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behavior and testing small changes between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects through paced, supportive conversations that help a person name what happened and try new coping strategies. These methods are useful for relationship concerns, trauma, grief, and managing mood or stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That way the work stays focused on what actually helps in daily life rather than on fitting a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send updates, try coaching tools between sessions, or have brief check-ins when schedules are tight. These options help people fit therapy into real life while working toward clearer goals.
