About Alisa
Alisa Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of clinical experience in Utah. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with anger, depression, anxiety, and relationship strain. Alisa speaks English and structures sessions to match each person's situation.
Her work centers on listening first and then building a plan together. She helps people talk through trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stresses, and challenges like addiction or bipolar mood concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, and career stress. Alisa adapts the pace and tools to what an individual needs. She pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care histories, and experiences of discrimination for LGBT clients.
She also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. Practical strategies are part of her approach. Sessions may include skill-building for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and planning next steps after a life change.
The goal is to leave each appointment with at least one concrete thing to try. People who work with Alisa often want a respectful, straightforward therapist who helps them take achievable steps. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on what will make daily life more manageable.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is emotion-regulation work, which teaches concrete skills for noticing and managing intense feelings such as anger or panic. This helps people shrink the moments that derail a day and build steadier responses over time.Another frequently used method focuses on trauma-informed strategies that help people process upsetting events at a manageable pace. These techniques aim to reduce the day-to-day impact of traumatic memories and improve sleep, concentration, and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and current challenges, and then recommend methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress continues.
Online sessions make it easier to get consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are good for low-bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat suits brief check-ins or written processing, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy days and different comfort levels while keeping the focus on useful, achievable steps.
