About Alison
Alison Marrelli is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, licensed in Utah with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing grief, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She also helps with compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Alison starts by treating the person, not the label. She listens to each client's story and looks for the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings, along with time to talk through feelings and the impacts of past events.
Her background includes substantial work supporting people through loss and transitions. That practical experience informs how she organizes sessions and sets short-term goals. She brings a straightforward approach to managing worry, sleep and eating disruptions, and career or parenting stress.
Alison also works with concerns linked to attachment, adoption and foster care, and blended family dynamics. She addresses issues such as codependency, abandonment, and caregiving stress with focused conversation and planning. She can talk about sexuality topics including BDSM and kink without judgment.
People meet Alison for clear, doable strategies alongside emotional processing. She outlines options, helps prioritize next steps, and checks progress from week to week. To start, prospective clients use the site's matching and scheduling tools to set up an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How Alison uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Alison draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and solve practical problems. One common approach focuses on helping clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and test more helpful ways of thinking so anxiety and low mood become more manageable. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - breaking tasks into small steps, building routines for sleep or self-care, and using short experiments to test what helps in day-to-day life.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Alison will review a client's goals, current struggles, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked from session to session.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and health demands.
