    About Alli

    Alli LaRue is a licensed independent social worker with 17 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or parenting and intimacy challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Alli focuses on discovering the strengths clients already have and using those strengths to move forward.

    Her approach centers on listening and collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them name small, practical steps that fit their situation. Sessions often include work on communication, setting boundaries, and managing anxiety or mood symptoms in daily life.

    Alli draws on several ways of working including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, and motivational interviewing to support motivation and change. Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused ideas are used when they suit a client's goals. She keeps the work grounded and action-oriented so people can try things between sessions.

    Her background includes a range of clinical settings over nearly two decades in Ohio. That experience informs how she tailors methods to different life stages and challenges. She is able to help with concerns related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth, and young adult transitions.

    All sessions are conducted in English. If someone is unsure whether this approach fits their needs, Alli encourages starting with a short conversation to see if the match feels right and to discuss practical steps forward.

  2. How Alli’s approaches shape online therapy

    Alli uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen their motivation to change. That approach focuses on conversation that draws out a person’s own reasons for wanting different outcomes rather than telling them what to do.

    She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. Those methods create space for someone to set the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, or panic symptoms between appointments.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alli will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so potential clients should confirm current session options before booking. Many people value online therapy for fitting sessions into busy days, keeping check-ins shorter when needed, or avoiding travel time. If someone wants to work around school, work, or caregiving duties, online sessions can make scheduling easier while still focusing on practical skills and motivation.
