About Alli
Alli LaRue is a licensed independent social worker with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, family tensions, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. Alli speaks plainly and supports people as they take the first steps toward change.
Alli works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She looks for strengths so clients can build on what already helps them. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in practical steps, not long lectures or rigid scripts.
Her approach blends a few different methods to match each person's needs. That can include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, emotionally focused techniques to strengthen connection and closeness, and mindfulness practices to help calm the body and mind. Motivational interviewing ideas are used to help people find their own reasons for change.
Alli has worked across a variety of concerns over her career, including adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems, divorce and separation, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. She also supports people coping with panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety, and other mood disorders.

How Alli's approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. It focuses on the person's perspective, helps them name goals, and supports decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms in daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotions that shape difficult interactions, which can reduce relationship stress and improve closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alli will work with each person to choose which methods to try first, adjusting based on goals, progress, and what feels most useful. That partnership helps ensure techniques fit the person's situation and comfort level.
