Alissa Knight
Hello there! I’m Alissa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida and Utah. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2015. I have worked with diverse populations with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, incarceration, personality disorders, ADHD, trauma, and abuse.
I also use direct communication and will confront you tactfully if I notice inconsistencies that prevent therapeutic growth.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and client focused. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, solutions focused counseling, motivational interviewing, and trauma informed care. I will facilitate our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to ask for support in times of need and to also take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
First session
In the first session I like to get to know you, hear what your goals are, and discuss areas you may benefit from improving on.
Strengths
My favorite areas of strength are my patience and sense of humor. I also use direct communication and will confront you tactfully if I notice inconsistencies that prevent therapeutic growth.
Ideal clients
I am experienced in working with adults who may have co-occurring disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Treatment methods
Trauma Informed Care
I review current stressors and triggers that cause distress. We will work together on confronting, processing, or disengaging from the situation that causes an emotional reaction.
