About Alli
Alli LaRue is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. Social anxiety and phobia are included among the issues she lists. She sees young adults and adults and supports people affected by adoption or foster care, blended family dynamics, and relationship communication problems.
Alli centers sessions on the person's own perspective and strengths. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy are part of her toolbox for managing anxious thoughts and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Motivational Interviewing appear in her approach for relationship and motivation work.
In sessions she helps people identify small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm. That can include working through panic symptoms, practicing grounding or breathing techniques, and trying new ways to bring up difficult topics with partners or family. She also supports parents facing disruptions such as divorce, blended family adjustment, or questions related to adoption and foster care.
Alli frames progress as a series of manageable changes rather than a single event. She emphasizes clear communication, experimenting with strategies, and checking what works. People can expect direct conversation about goals, tracking how interventions feel, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Ohio settings across a range of mood and behavioral concerns. Alli works in English and does not take international clients. When someone is ready to start, she guides them through a brief intake and scheduling process.
How Alli’s approaches translate to online work
Alli uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts that feed anxiety. That often means practicing specific exercises between meetings and breaking worries into manageable pieces. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and sets goals, focusing on what the person identifies as most important. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and closeness are the focus, helping people name emotions and try new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alli will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about how techniques feel and adjusts the plan together rather than prescribing a single path.
