About Alyse
Alyse Scanlon is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who helps adults through difficult life moments. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and trauma. She brings ten years of experience and a practical, compassionate style to sessions.
Her approach focuses on improving self-love, clearer communication, and finding purpose. Alyse often supports people dealing with shame, guilt, panic, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues and workplace stress.
In sessions she aims to create a respectful, steady atmosphere where concerns are talked through at a comfortable pace. Her work combines straightforward strategies with attention to personal story. That means using tools to manage symptoms while also understanding how past events shape current patterns.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Narrative techniques help clients reframe difficult experiences and reclaim personal meaning.

Approaches that translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and stress-related problems and gives clear, practical steps to try between sessions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These skills can help when panic or overwhelm arise and offer tools to use throughout the day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative work to address symptoms and personal meaning.
