About Alisa
Alisa Roberts uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage relationship strains, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Utah with 11 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She focuses on what will help a person feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.
Alisa centers conversations on respect and sensitivity. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts sessions to fit those needs.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all plan, she works with clients to set achievable goals and small steps to reach them. Her background includes work across relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns, alongside mood and stress-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar challenges.
She also addresses addiction, grief, self-esteem, and intimacy-related difficulties, and supports people coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image and eating issues, communication problems, and codependency.
She has experience supporting people facing post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse recovery, and issues relevant to veterans and armed forces experiences. Sessions are shaped around each person’s situation and strengths.
Alisa aims to empower people to make meaningful changes, build healthier patterns, and find clearer ways to cope when life gets hard.
Approach and access with online therapy
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach focuses on identifying patterns in relationships and communication, helping people change unhelpful habits and rebuild trust. Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by teaching grounding and coping skills and helping people process difficult experiences in manageable ways.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and how they respond in session. That means techniques can shift over time as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow more natural conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and schedules while keeping therapy focused on concrete strategies and problem solving.
