Alise Campbell , LCSW

Alise Campbell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon. She brings 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Her work often focuses on women's issues, including self-esteem, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Alise builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about hard feelings. She strives to make sessions straightforward and practical, so conversations lead to clear steps forward. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, loneliness, or recovery after betrayal and loss.

Her background spans public and private settings, which has shaped a flexible approach to care. Alise listens for patterns tied to family of origin, abandonment, or dependent personality concerns and then talks through options that feel doable. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on well-being.

When complicated emotions like guilt, shame, or grief come up she helps clients name those feelings and consider small, concrete actions. Work may include improving communication, setting boundaries, or practicing self-compassion. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose Alise can expect steady support while they try new ways of coping. She encourages collaboration on goals and adapts suggestions to each person’s life and rhythm. Getting started begins with a short matching process and scheduling a first session.

Approaches and how online sessions can help

Alise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change patterns that cause distress. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them in real life to reduce anxiety and low mood; it teaches practical skills for daily situations. Another approach aims to process strong emotions like grief, shame, or trauma by naming feelings, tracking triggers, and trying small behavioral changes to restore balance and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alise collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly to see what feels most useful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use gestures and facial cues when that helps the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and quick reflections between sessions. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into busy schedules.
