About Alisa

Alisa Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related concerns such as anxiety, depression, and codependency.

She focuses on practical conversations that help people notice patterns in how they relate to others. Sessions look at communication, boundary setting, and responses to stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and career-related stress.

Her background includes work across a wide age range and varied settings, including issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment, and military-related concerns. She brings experience with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and bipolar disorder without offering diagnostic promises. The focus is on what is happening now and what can be changed in everyday life.

In a session she will listen, reflect, and help map steps you can try between meetings. Conversations aim to be straightforward, with concrete skills for setting limits, managing anger, handling impulsivity, and improving self-respect. She also addresses intimacy questions and codependency patterns when they come up.

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works in English. If you plan to begin, confirm current session options before scheduling so you know how she is working now.

How sessions work

Approaches that guide online sessions

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify and shift relationship patterns such as people-pleasing and codependency by practicing boundary-setting and clearer communication. This approach is useful for recurring conflict, intimacy challenges, and difficulty saying no.

Another technique focuses on trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult events and reduce their hold on daily life. This work involves pacing discussions, teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and creating small steps for managing triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and together pick methods to try. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust if something isn’t working.

Confirm current session options before booking, because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her about how to shape sessions so they fit your schedule and the kinds of support you want.
