She works with adults on relationship strain, family concerns, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges.

Her practice also includes help for people dealing with body image, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related worries.

How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Alisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills and addressing relationship patterns. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches communication, emotion regulation, and problem-solving strategies to use with partners and family members. This helps when daily interactions feel strained or conflict keeps repeating.Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people process past harms and reduce their impact on current relationships and parenting. That work often balances talking about difficult memories with strategies to manage strong emotions in the present.
Finding the right approach is often a joint process. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. Clients and therapist adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only options when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep momentum between in-person visits and to apply strategies directly to home situations.
