About Alisa

Alisa Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on creating practical, respectful support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and sleep concerns. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping clients make manageable changes that fit their lives.

Alisa uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns in relationships, career stress, parenting challenges, and sleep or eating difficulties. From there she and the client shape realistic goals and small steps that move toward better rest, clearer boundaries, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma, addiction, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression. She also addresses issues like intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. That experience helps when sleep or stress problems are tied to deeper life events.

Alisa respects differences in identity and supports LGBT clients and those who have experienced sexual assault or military-related trauma. She also brings focused attention to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and communication problems. She aims to help clients build routines that support better sleep and coping.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored. Alisa will adapt the pacing and practical tools to match each person’s schedule and needs, helping them try new strategies and adjust as progress happens.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problem solving and practical skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with small, doable changes to improve mood and sleep. Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to improve communication, reduce conflict, and support healthier routines that aid rest.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, symptoms, and daily life to decide which techniques to try first. Together they set priorities and adjust methods if something isn’t helping.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to try tools for sleep and stress in the environments where they occur. If a different approach or pacing is needed, the therapist and client can adapt the plan as they go.
