About Alisa
Alisa Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for parenting, relationships, trauma, and everyday stress. Her style aims to be respectful, direct, and compassionate for people facing hard moments.
She often helps people manage anxiety, depression, and the ups and downs that follow big life changes. Parents seeking calmer routines, people coping with grief, and those recovering from abuse can expect clear steps and steady support.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related struggles. Alisa adapts conversations and plans to the person in front of her. She listens first, then works with each client to set simple, achievable goals.
That might mean practical parenting strategies, emotion regulation skills, or ways to rebuild trust after trauma. Her background includes work across age ranges, from very young children through adults, and with issues related to adoption, attachment, and family transition. She also has experience supporting people with military and veteran-related concerns and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions aim to help people gain usable tools and clearer next steps. Alisa frames therapy as a collaborative process where effort at home matters as much as the time in sessions. She encourages clients to try small changes and track what helps.

Online approaches that fit busy family life
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical work. One common approach teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety and mood swings, such as short breathing exercises, tracking moods, and breaking large problems into steps. This helps with day-to-day stress, depression, and anger by giving small actions to try between sessions.Another approach concentrates on repairing relationships and improving communication. It emphasizes learning new ways to talk about needs, set boundaries, and rebuild trust after conflict or trauma. This can be useful for parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and family transitions.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust plans as progress is seen. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief coaching between meetings. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep consistent momentum toward their goals.
