About Alissia
Alissia Camuso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and related mood concerns. Her focus includes codependency, substance and process addictions, and the emotional fallout of trauma.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what’s happening in their lives. Sessions often look at patterns around impulsivity, guilt and shame, and isolation. She helps clients think through immediate steps to reduce harm and regain small amounts of control.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused methods to identify practical next steps and Trauma-Focused Therapy for people dealing with past abuse or assault.
Clients can expect clear, goal-oriented sessions that balance problem-solving with attention to painful feelings. Alissia emphasizes collaborative planning so people leave with doable actions rather than vague ideas. She encourages pacing work to match what each person can manage.
Sessions are conducted in English and organized around the concerns the person brings. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the listed online options. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alissia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday reality to change behavior and mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find their own reasons to cut back or stop harmful patterns.She also draws on Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and outline small, achievable steps. These methods are useful for addiction, codependency patterns, and mood concerns because they break big problems into manageable actions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That choice can shift as work progresses, and she revisits it together with the person.

Some formats can also be shorter or audio-only when that better suits daily schedules.
