LCSW, 10 years of experience
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. 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!
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.
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.
I am experienced in working with adults who may have co-occurring disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
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.

Alissa never ceases to surprise me with how she’s able to connect the dots between my previous experiences and helping me understand how they affect me to this day. I love that every approach is backed with science, and she is genuinely playing a big role on helping me recover from a hard situation.

She has been super helpful with my confidence and self-esteem. She is super kind and caring and doesn't put up with any nonsense from me lol. With almost two years with her, I am becoming more sure of myself, setting boundaries, healing from grief, and getting out of my comfort zone. Highly recommend!
