About Elyse
Elyse Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady support during difficult transitions. Her tone is direct and compassionate to make conversations feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Elyse uses practical, evidence-informed methods that focus on what works in day-to-day life. Sessions center on the person's goals and strengths, with attention to emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and offers clear observations and gentle guidance. Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means Elyse helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice ways to calm the body and mind.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to reshape personal stories. In sessions she keeps things straightforward. Parents can expect problem-focused conversations, real-world strategies, and short-term goals when that fits.
Elyse also supports people managing longer-standing mood or bipolar concerns, and she can help family members coping with a loved one’s severe mental illness. She practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. Elyse invites people to consider how therapy could fit into their life and encourages practical steps toward clearer decision making and calmer days.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through parenting stress or life changes and wants the therapist to reflect their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and teaches practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and ways of coping with stress.Elyse approaches online work as a collaborative process. She will help identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and day-to-day life, and adjust methods as progress is made. Together they decide whether to try short-term, goal-focused work or a longer plan that includes mindfulness and narrative techniques.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be useful for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around parenting and work schedules.
