Alisa Roberts

Alisa Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience in Utah. She focuses on practical help for relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse recovery, and eating and body image concerns. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassionate support for each person she meets.

Clients can expect conversations tailored to their situation. Alisa adapts goals and plans to fit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people take steady steps toward change.

Her background includes work across a wide age range, and she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and stress related to life transitions. She also engages with issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care experiences, and challenges linked to autism and ADHD.

Alisa pays attention to how relationships affect everyday functioning. She helps people navigate communication problems, codependency, intimacy-related concerns, and separation or divorce effects. Practical tools and conversational work are common in sessions to build skills for real-life situations.

She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and veteran-related issues when relevant. Alisa encourages a steady pace and focuses on skills people can use between meetings. To begin, she asks about needs and goals, then shapes a plan that fits those priorities.

Evidence-based techniques and online support

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and relationship patterns. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful interaction patterns and learn communication skills that reduce conflict and improve closeness. This approach is useful for relationship strain, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns.

Another approach she draws on emphasizes coping skills for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related reactions. Sessions introduce simple, teachable strategies for managing stress, regulating strong emotions, and handling triggers in daily life. These skills are often paired with goal-setting so progress can be tracked between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most and what fits a client's life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with therapy and apply what they learn between sessions.
