About Alli
Alli LaRue is an Ohio licensed independent social worker who brings 17 years of experience to sessions. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, intimacy concerns, or parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused, with an emphasis on uncovering what already works in a person's life.
Alli believes each person knows their story best. She uses that knowledge to help people name practical steps they can take. Conversations tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. The goal is clearer thinking and more usable coping tools, not jargon or long lectures.
In practice Alli combines several evidence-informed approaches. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the individual. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and adjust unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques and emotionally-focused tools help with managing strong feelings and repairing important relationships.
Alli has worked across a range of concerns for nearly two decades, including additional focus on adoption and foster care, blended family issues, mood disorders, and perinatal concerns. That background informs how she tailors sessions to parenting and family stressors. She also supports people coping with trauma, social anxiety, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect a practical, person-focused approach. People who are considering therapy are encouraged to reach out and complete the intake steps to see if her style feels like a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Alli uses client-centered work to focus sessions on what matters most to the person. This approach emphasizes active listening, reflection, and following the client's lead so goals emerge from the client's priorities.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily stressors because it emphasizes practical skills and small experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed to fit the person's life and needs.
For practical benefits of online work, confirm available session formats before booking. Knowing the format in advance helps plan the logistics of fitting therapy into a busy schedule, such as arranging a shorter check-in on a lunch break or choosing an audio-only option when bandwidth is limited. Online sessions can make regular appointments easier to keep and allow the therapist to use the same client-centered and CBT tools in conversation and between-session practice.
